Type A aortic dissection after ‘zone 0’ thoracic endovascular aortic repair for type 1 hybrid aortic arch replacement of arch aneurysm
Abstract The recent rise in minimally invasive cardiovascular procedures is being accompanied by an increase in related complications. We report on an acute type A aortic dissection performed in an 82-year-old man 1 week after staged ‘zone 0’ hybrid thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). Previously, the patient had undergone type I hybrid arch debranching and staged ‘zone 0’ TEVAR for an aortic arch aneurysm. ‘Zone 0’ TEVAR after type I hybrid debranching might increase the risk for aortic injury on the residual native aorta and should, therefore, be closely followed up to enable the early diagnosis of complications.
