Ascending Aorta and Hemiarch Replacement Combined With Modified Triple-Branched Stent Graft Implantation for Repair of Acute DeBakey Type I Aortic Dissection

Extensive thoracic aorta repair of acute type I aortic dissection can be performed simply by combining ascending aorta and hemiarch replacement with modified triple-branched stent graft implantation. This technique can reduce the risk and technical difficulty of extensive thoracic aorta repair to levels close to those seen with ascending aorta and hemiarch graft replacement with open distal anastomosis.
