Zone 1 Debranching for Frozen Elephant Trunk and Whole-Body Perfusion

Abstract

A 65-year-old man with chronic type A aortic dissection underwent zone 1 debranching and frozen elephant trunk with whole-body perfusion. This approach has the potential to improve technical feasibility of the frozen elephant trunk procedure and reduce its ischemic complications.
