Purpose: A hybrid aortic repair using the frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique with an open distal anastomosis in zone 2 and debranching of the left subclavian artery (LSA) has been demonstrated to be favorable and safe. Although a transposition of the LSA reduces the risk of cerebellar or medullar ischemia, this may be challenging in difficult LSA anatomies. Case Report: We present the case of a 61-year old patient with DeBakey I aortic dissection, treated with FET in moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest (26°C) and selective cerebral perfusion using a Thoraflex-Hybrid (Vascutek Terumo) prosthesis anchored in zone 2, with overstenting of the LSA orifice and no additional LSA debranching. Sufficient perfusion of the LSA was proved intraoperatively using LSA backflow analysis during selective cerebral perfusion in combination with on-site digital subtraction angiography (ARTIS Pheno syngo software). No neurologic dysfunction or ischemia occurred in the postoperative course. An angiographic computed tomography revealed physiologic LSA perfusion, with subsequent thrombotic occlusion of the false lumen in the proximal descending aorta after 7 days. Conclusion: Using an angiography-guided management in patients with complex DeBakey I dissection and difficult anatomy may simplify a proximalization of the distal anastomosis in zone 2 for FET, even without an additional LSA debranching. |
