Frozen Elephant Trunk Technique

We report a patient who presented with paraplegia after ascending aorta and arch replacement using the frozen elephant trunk technique. Immediate postoperatively cerebrospinal fluid drainage allowed successful reversal of spinal chord injury. Early awakening of patients following a frozen elephant technique is mandatory because it allows recognition and treatment of this complication by prompt cerebrospinal liquor drainage.

Abstract We report a case of a 51-year-old male with complicated acute type A aortic dissection who initially underwent a supracoronary and aortic arch replacement using frozen elephant trunk technique. False-lumen perfusion was revealed later which resulted in the collapse of the true lumen. Endovascular fenestration of the dissection flap was performed. True-lumen reperfusion with false-lumen regression was achieved. Endovascular fenestration using a re-entry catheter represents an efficient and safe treatment approach for this rare but serious complication.
