Abstract

Endoleaks are specific complications after thoracic aortic endovascular repair, in these endoleak type 1A is serious and require carefully follow up and treatment, because high risk of aneurysm rupture. In the initial time, that became apply Viet Duc University Hospital modification of frozen elephant trunk technique, we did not fix the wall of aortic arch behind brachiocephalic trunk to graft and there were two cases with endoleak type 1A after surgery. In one case the endoleak flow was increased during follow up, the patient underwent successful surgical closure of endoleak. We report this case and review literatures.
