A complication during elephant trunk aortic replacement is detailed. This case highlights potential risks in complex aortic arch surgeries for Stanford type-A aortic dissection.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Aortic Disease

Background:

  • The elephant trunk technique is a common method for aortic arch replacement.
  • Stanford type-A aortic dissection requires complex surgical intervention.
  • Minimizing complications in aortic arch surgery is crucial for patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • A complication occurred during the second stage of an elephant trunk aortic replacement procedure.
  • The patient was a 58-year-old woman who had undergone graft replacement of the ascending aorta and aortic arch.
  • The indication for surgery was an acute Stanford type-A aortic dissection.

Findings:

  • The specific complication encountered during the second stage of the elephant trunk procedure is described.

  • This case report focuses on the technical challenges and adverse events associated with this surgical approach.

    • Implications:

    • Understanding and reporting such complications can improve surgical techniques for aortic arch aneurysms.
    • This case may inform strategies to mitigate risks in complex aortic dissection repairs.
    • Further research into preventing and managing complications in elephant trunk surgery is warranted.
