Repair of stent graft-induced retrograde type A aortic dissection using the E-vita open prosthesis

Abstract

Retrograde aortic dissection type A is a serious complication of thoracic endovascular repair of acute aortic type B dissection. Despite the small number of patients investigated in this study, the frozen elephant trunk technique appears to be a feasible bail-out strategy for the treatment of these acute aortic events.
