MODIFIED FROZEN ELEPHANT TRUNK TECHNIQUE IN A PATIENT WITH COMPLICATED AORTIC ARCH DISEASE

Main Article Content

Abstract

A 67-year-old male admitted to our hospital with a complaint of 2-day chest pain and hoarse throat. Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) showed big aortic arch aneurysm. He was found to have a shortness of proximal landing-zone, which is very important to perform thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) safely. He achieved medical management to control hypertension and pain. Modified Frozen elephant trunk (Modified FET) technique was perform with careful planning. The operation was performed as the plan, the aneurysm was eliminated, the descending aortic aneurysm was covered by stent-graft. He was discharged after 6 days without complications. It was very important to measure the size of the aortic lesion, length of the stent-graft. Placing precise position of the aortic artificial graft segment and deploying the stent-graft were very important to have a good result in emergency procedures.
