Redo Arch Aneurysm Repair for New-Onset Aortic Arch Dissection Following Ascending Aortic Surgery: Long Elephant Trunk Technique Combined With Trifurcate-Branched Graft ANNALS OF VASCULAR SURGERY Shudo, Y., Toda, K., Matsue, H., Hata, H., Yoshida, K., Taniguchi, K. 2010; 24 (3)

Abstract

Reoperative surgical intervention for a new-onset aortic arch dissection following a Bentall procedure or graft replacement for the ascending aorta is often difficult, especially in elderly patients. Herein, we report a re-do arch replacement method using a trifurcate-branched graft and long elephant trunk anastomosis at the composite root graft on the ascending aorta. The present technique is feasible as an alternative for new-onset or residual aortic arch aneurysm, as well as dissection following an operation for the ascending aorta.
