Redo arch aneurysm repair for new-onset aortic arch dissection following ascending aortic surgery: long elephant trunk technique combined with trifurcate-branched graft.
Reoperative surgical intervention for a new-onset aortic arch dissection following a Bentall procedure or graft replacement for the ascending aorta is often difficult, especially in elderly patients. Herein, we report a re-do arch replacement method using a trifurcate-branched graft and long elephant trunk anastomosis at the composite root graft on the ascending aorta. The present technique is feasible as an alternative for new-onset or residual aortic arch aneurysm, as well as dissection following an operation for the ascending aorta.
