This commentary highlights emerging evidence that open triple-branched stent grafts may be a viable alternative to total arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk for acute type A aortic dissection.
Due to the pathology of acute type A aortic dissection (AAD), including fragile dissected aortic wall and visceral malperfusions, surgical procedures are still in development. This commentary is a review of a report by Bin and Yang et al. published in the Journal of Cardiac Surgery that reported similar effectiveness of the open triple-branched stent graft for acute type AAD and total arch replacement with the frozen elephant trunk technique.
