Abstract
The concept of a staged hybrid repair of the mega aortic syndrome is technically feasible. The frozen elephant trunk technique represents an attractive treatment option, offering an adequate landing zone for later thoracoabdominal repair in patients with extended aortic disease. For completion of the repair, a staged hybrid approach with renovisceral debranching and aneurysm exclusion using off-the-shelf stent grafts shows promising results with low surgical morbidity and mortality.
