Frozen Elephant Trunk Technique

Abstract A Kommerell’s diverticulum is a rare congenital aortic arch anomaly associated with a high rate of aortic rupture or dissection. Therefore, surgical or endovascular repair should be considered early. A 64-year-old man was incidentally found to have an aortic arch anomaly, Kommerell’s diverticulum, with a right aberrant subclavian artery and distal arch aneurysm. Hybrid total arch replacement with bilateral extra-anatomical axillary artery bypass and frozen elephant trunk technique was performed. This particular surgical approach would be a treatment option for any type of Kommerell’s diverticulum.

Frozen Elephant Trunk Technique

The frozen elephant trunk technique has revolutionized aortic arch repair to enable more extensive arch and descending thoracic aortic treatment in a single setting. We review the current evidence supporting the use of the Thoraflex Hybrid (Terumo Aortic, FL, USA) device and discuss advantages, pitfalls and future design considerations.
