Surgery for aortic dissection involving an aberrant right subclavian artery

Keita Kikuchi et al. Jpn J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2005 Dec.

Abstract

On diagnosis of Stanford type A acute aortic dissection with an aberrant right subclavian artery, emergency operation was performed. Aortic arch replacement was undertaken with additional 'elephant trunk' procedure to cover the entry site and decrease the blood flow through the false lumen. We consider this technique will become one of the effective procedures for acute aortic dissection involving an aberrant right subclavian artery.
