  • Title: Modified use of a 4-branched frozen elephant trunk prosthesis for treatment of a right-sided aortic arch aneurysm with an aberrant left subclavian artery.
    Author: Brickwedel J, Reichenspurner H, Kölbel T, Detter C.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2022 Jun 01; 34(6):1177-1179. PubMed ID: 34951630.
    Abstract:
    Right aortic arch aneurysm originating from a Kommerell's diverticulum associated with an aberrant left subclavian artery is a rare congenital entity. We report a case of an asymptomatic 60-year-old female with right aortic arch aneurysm with an aberrant left subclavian artery, treated with a modified frozen elephant trunk technique using a 4-branched prosthesis, with the perfusion branch as an extra-anatomical bypass to the aberrant left subclavian artery. This case demonstrates short-term safety and efficacy of this technique.
