Key result
Modified Bentall's procedure with frozen elephant trunk rescues Marfan patient with acute type-A aortic dissection.
Why the study?
Acute type-A aortic dissection carries high mortality with medical treatment and substantial early operative mortality.
Case Report (n=1)
No
A modified sequence of total arch replacement with the frozen elephant trunk technique can be successfully performed in young patients with Marfan syndrome presenting with acute type-A aortic dissection.

Supports feasibility of complex aortic repair in young Marfan patients; leaves open need for larger studies on durability and outcomes.
Gupta et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Acute Type-A Aortic Dissection (ATAAD) (n=1). Modified Bentall's procedure with total arch replacement and Frozen Elephant Trunk (FET) technique was evaluated on Successful surgical repair and survival. A 22-year-old male with Marfan syndrome and acute type-A aortic dissection was successfully treated and discharged using a modified Bentall's procedure with total arch replacement and frozen elephant trunk technique.
