Abstract

Patients with acute aortic dissections involving the arch and descending aorta can effectively be treated using the frozen elephant trunk technique. We describe here the novel technique of temporary banding of the descending aorta onto the stent of the hybrid graft in 3 patients who developed unmanageable bleeding from the distal suture line due to retrograde false lumen perfusion and disintegration of the adventitia. Retrograde false lumen perfusion was stopped and therefore bleeding controlled in all patients. Temporal aortic banding represents a novel, feasible, and effective bailout technique for otherwise unmanageable bleeding with fatal outcome in hybrid arch surgery.
