Abstract
Midterm results of total arch rerouting and TEVAR extending into landing zone 0 are excellent in regard to aorta-related survival and freedom from aorta-related reintervention. Retrograde type A dissection, potentially related to compliance mismatch between the ascending aorta and the stent-graft, warrants further attention. Extended application of this strategy augments therapeutic options in a group of patients who are not suitable candidates for conventional therapy.
