Concomitant frozen elephant trunk procedure and pulmonary embolectomy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The antegrade stented (frozen) elephant trunk procedure and pulmonary embolectomy are complex cardiac surgical operations for extensive aortic and pulmonary arterial disease, respectively. We report the first known case of concomitant antegrade stented elephant trunk and pulmonary embolectomy in order to highlight pre- and intra-operative management strategies for this uncommon disease combination.

OBJECTIVE The frozen elephant trunk technique allows the repair of concomitant aortic arch and proximal descending aortic pathology in a single stage by using a hybrid prosthesis consisting of a vascular graft with a distal stented end. There are patients, however, who will require a second distal operation despite this new technique due to progression of their aortic disease. It has been uncle...

متن کاملTrade in the hammer for a power driver-perspectives on the frozen elephant trunk repair for aortic arch disease.
Like a power driver for which the bit can be changed for each screw that is turned, improvement of brain protection strategies and the development of hybrid techniques have provided us with the ability to offer tailored repair options for patients with complex thoracic disease involving the arch. Variations of the frozen elephant trunk operation have been the most versatile of the newer hybrid ...
