Abstract

We present a simplified, one-stage procedure to address combined ascending- descending aortic disease. This procedure consists of a hemiarch repair in hypothermic circulatory arrest and the antegrade delivery plus fixation of a stent graft in the descending aorta. This technique, known as “modified frozen elephant trunk” repair, has recently become popular for treating acute DeBakey type 1 dissections. We demonstrate, in a patient with a covered but complicated rupture of the descending aorta combined with an ascending aneurysm, that the indication for the procedure can be expanded and has technical advantages compared with the classical twostage approach.
