  • Title: Frozen elephant trunk reconstruction for right-sided aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery and aneurysm of the descending aorta: a case report.
    Author: Kokotsakis J, Jarral OA, Harling L, Tsipas P, Athanasiou T.
    Journal: J Cardiothorac Surg; 2016 May 05; 11(1):77. PubMed ID: 27151251.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: A 59-year old man being investigated for back pain was found to have aneurysmal dilatation of a right-sided aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta together with an aberrant left subclavian artery. CASE PRESENTATION: He underwent repair of this utilising the frozen elephant trunk technique, which dealt with all three pathologies in one-stage. He made an unremarkable recovery and was discharged home on the 8th post-operative day. CONCLUSIONS: This case report further demonstrates the flexibility and safety of the frozen elephant trunk in dealing with complex aortic pathology as a single-stage procedure.
