Key result
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) was successfully used to retrieve a stented elephant trunk graft entrapped in the false lumen during Sun's procedure.
Why the study?
A stented elephant trunk graft entrapped in the false lumen during Sun's procedure is a serious complication with an extremely high mortality rate.
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) can be successfully utilized as a rescue strategy for a stented elephant trunk graft entrapped in the false lumen during Sun's procedure.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
TEVAR may offer a bailout for this rare, high-mortality complication; hypothesis-generating and requires validation before broader adoption.
A stented elephant trunk graft entrapped in the false lumen during Sun's procedure (total arch replacement combined with stented elephant trunk implantation) is a serious complication with an extremely high mortality rate. This article describes a case of a patient who was successfully saved with the use of thoracic endovascular aortic repair.
