Staged, hybrid approach by zone 2 arch replacement and completion thoracic endoprosthesis in retrograde acute type A aortic dissection

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: We describe a case of retrograde acute type A aortic dissection approached by a hybrid, staged approach consisting of a zone 2 arch replacement and completion thoracic endovascular aortic repair procedure combined with distal balloon-assisted stent graft dilatation to prevent retrograde false lumen flow. This technique may be an alternative and more complete when compared with a frozen elephant trunk procedure at onset. Additionally, favorable remodeling of the entire thoracic aorta is observed.
