Article Description

Residual dissections after type A repairs are common and can result in aneurysm formation. Surgery is complex and considered high risk, particularly if there is arch involvement. A single-stage “arch-first” technique via clamshell incision is an excellent option in certain circumstances and herein we detail a variation of this approach using a trifurcated graft.
