Abstract
A carotid-carotid bypass is commonly used in debranching thoracic endovascular aortic repair. When the bypass graft is placed in the retroesophageal position, the esophagus may be compressed by the graft from behind. Therefore, dysphagia may occur postoperatively as a serious complication. To avoid this issue, we recommend placing the bypass graft below the cricoid cartilage.
