Abstract
- Complications may arise from the residual dissected arch and descending thoracic aorta after conventional ascending and hemiarch repair of acute DeBakey type I aortic dissection. To mitigate these complications, a total arch and elephant trunk procedure has been advocated. This case demonstrates a less invasive hybrid technique, performed in a single-stage fashion through a sternotomy without circulatory arrest or deep hypothermia, to achieve the benefits of the total arch and elephant trunk operation.
