Key result
Beating-heart frozen elephant trunk combined with valve-sparing root replacement is feasible for extensive aortic disease.
Why the study?
Correction of extensive aortic pathology often requires a combined surgical approach, and technical aspects of beating-heart aortic arch replacement with valve-sparing aortic root replacement need to be presented.
This video tutorial demonstrates the technical aspects of combining beating-heart aortic arch replacement with the frozen elephant trunk technique and valve-sparing aortic root replacement.
Beating-heart frozen elephant trunk with valve-sparing root replacement is technically feasible; leaves open need for outcome data before wider adoption.
Correction of extensive aortic pathology often requires a combined surgical approach. This video tutorial presents the technical aspects of beating-heart aortic arch replacement in the frozen elephant trunk technique in combination with valve-sparing aortic root replacement.
