  • Title: Total Arch Replacement and Frozen Elephant Trunk for Acute Complicated Type B Dissection.
    Author: Axtell A, Eagleton M, Conrad M, Isselbacher E, Sundt T, Jassar A.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2020 Sep; 110(3):e213-e216. PubMed ID: 32084375.
    Abstract:
    The current management of acute complicated type B aortic dissection is a combination of medical therapy and endovascular repair. Endovascular repair is not feasible when the dissection extends into the aortic arch. We describe 3 patients with acute type B aortic dissection complicated by retrograde arch extension and visceral malperfusion who were successfully treated with a total arch replacement and frozen elephant trunk.
