Case Report (n=1)
The combined use of frozen elephant trunk and antegrade visceral debranching may serve as an alternative surgical method for complicated Type B aortic dissection with difficult anatomy.
Intervention is inevitable in complicated Type B aortic dissections. Classical surgical procedures and endovascular interventions are far from ideal treatments due to their high risk of periprocedural complications and mortality. There is often a need for alternative method in cases of difficult anatomy. We present the combined use of frozen elephant trunk and antegrade visceral debranching methods in the treatment of a 54-year-old male patient with complicated Type B aortic dissection.
