Novel arch fenestrated stent graft for acute Stanford Type A aortic dissection with open antegrade implantation.
The best surgical strategy for acute Stanford Type A aortic dissection (aTAAD) involving the arch remains controversial. Here, we report on the satisfactory results following aTAAD repair using a novel arch fenestrated stent graft. ⋯ In aTAAD patients, the use of the novel arch fenestrated stent graft achieved excellent aortic remodelling of the aortic arch and descending aorta without any increase in the morbidity and mortality.
