Abstract:
The frozen elephant trunk technique, which involves complete arch replacement and antegrade stenting of the descending thoracic aorta, represents an appealing procedure for treating extensive thoracic aorta disease in a single-step operation. The Frozenix J Graft open stent graft (Japan Lifeline, Tokyo, Japan) launched on the Japanese market in July 2014 and is the newest available hybrid graft for this procedure. This video tutorial demonstrates the step-by-step surgical implantation technique of the open J Graft in a 79-year-old male patient with a distal aortic arch aneurysm.
