  • Title: Endovascular repair after stent elephant trunk procedure for extensive thoracic aortic aneurysm.
    Author: Xu SD, Fan ZM, Li Y, Huang FJ.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2008 Dec; 7(6):1189-90. PubMed ID: 18805891.
    Abstract:
    Hybrid surgical-endovascular procedure was conducted in a 46-year-old male with extensive thoracic aortic aneurysm. Ascending aorta and arch replacement combined with stent elephant trunk implantation was performed first. An open stent-graft was implanted into the descending aorta. One month later, endovascular repair was conducted. Postoperative CTA showed total coverage of the descending aorta by stent-grafts and the descending aortic aneurysm was totally thrombo-excluded. Stent elephant trunk may be a better alternative to conventional elephant trunk in hybrid surgical-endovascular approaches in treatment of extensive thoracic aortic aneurysm.
