title: Treatment of chronic aortic type A dissection with a new designed hybridprosthesis.
abstract: This report describes the use of a new combined surgical and endovascular treatment for chronic type A aortic dissection after Cabrol operation. Intraoperative antegrade stenting of the descending aorta combined with distal ascending aorta and aortic arch repair was performed using the E-vita open endoluminal stentgraft. The stentgraft was deployed under direct vision into the true lumen. Postperative CT scan revealed a partially thrombosed false lumen. This report shows that a combined surgical and endovascular approach of chronic type A aortic dissection in a single stage procedure is a feasible option and extends aortic repair without increase of risk.
