The hybrid elephant trunk procedure: a single-stage repair of an ascending, arch, and descending thoracic aortic aneurysm

J Vasc Surg. 2006 Aug;44(2):404-7. doi: 10.1016/j.jvs.2006.04.041.

Abstract

Surgical repair of extensive aortic aneurysms requires a two-stage approach. We present the case of a single-stage repair using a hybrid procedure. This case demonstrates the technical feasibility of repairing properly selected extensive aortic aneurysms in a single procedure.
