Abstract:
We present a case in which a single stage hybrid repair was successfully for a complicated acute type B dissection of the aortic arch involvement in a 63-year-old male patient. We performed a combination of different techniques; left subclavian artery debranching, elephant trunk insertion without aortic arch replacement, and thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) from antegrade approach. The postoperative course was successful, and the patient was discharged on day 11 after surgery. A-half-year's follow up computed tomography (CT) scan showed shrinkage of thrombus lumen, vascular reverse remodeling.
