Acute Aortic Dissection
In the era of E-VITA Open Plus the supra aortic arch vessels were
reimplanted enbloc. This will require an additional Foley’s catheter
inserted into the hybrid prosthesis to perfuse the lower body. This can
be cumbersome. This is made more simplified with the E-vita Neo which
has a side branch to perfuse the lower body before the reimplantation of
the supra aortic arch vessel (Fig.1). In very sick and acute aortic
dissection, E-NOVIA can be implanted in zone 0 as described above.
