Key result
Treatment of acute type A aortic dissection with an aberrant right subclavian artery using an open triple-branched stent graft successfully eliminated the false lumen at one-month follow-up.
Why the study?

Does an open triple-branched stent graft combined with mono-branched vascular prosthesis replacement successfully treat Stanford type A aortic dissection with an aberrant right subclavian artery?
A novel triple-branched stent graft technique combined with mono-branched vascular prosthesis replacement successfully treated a rare case of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection with an aberrant right subclavian artery.
A 57-year-old Chinese male patient presented with Standford type A aortic dissection with an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA). At operation, the ascending aorta was replaced by a mono-branch vascular prosthesis with the branch bypassing to the ARSA; the triple-branched stent graft was inserted into the true lumen of the arch and proximal descending aorta (covering the origin of the ARSA) with each sidearm graft being positioned into the aortic branches; and then its proximal end was sutured to mono-branched vascular prosthesis. Follow-up computed tomography angiography showed false lumen of the dissection disappeared with satisfactory position of the triple-branched stent graft.

Guo et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Acute Standford type A aortic dissection with Aberrant Right Subclavian Artery (n=1). Open triple-branched stent graft combined with mono-branched vascular prosthesis was evaluated on Disappearance of false lumen and position of stent graft on CTA. Treatment of acute type A aortic dissection with an aberrant right subclavian artery using an open triple-branched stent graft successfully eliminated the false lumen at one-month follow-up.
