posted on 2020-12-14, 20:28 authored by Randolph HL Wong, Jacky YK Ho, Mohamad Bashir, Heinz JakobAortic arch disease commonly involves multiple segments, leading to the
need for multi-staged procedures. E-vita Open NEO is the latest locally
available hybrid device for total aortic arch replacement and frozen
elephant trunk procedure. A 60-year-old woman with chronic type B aortic
dissection with ascending and arch aneurysm was successfully treated
with the E-vita Open Neo branched graft in the authors’ institution. The
introduction of the device was made possible with virtual proctoring
between Hong Kong and Germany. Within the video, the authors discuss the
design of E-vita Open NEO, indications of frozen elephant trunk,
perioperative care, and specific surgical techniques.
