Here, we report a case of a dissected thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm
repair after frozen elephant trunk implantation, using aortic balloon
occlusion technique to simplify the proximal anastomosis and avoid deep
hypothermic circulatory arrest. In addition, detailed CT follow-up
pictures showed that false lumen thrombosis is a time-dependent and
reversible variable. Repeated measurements with time series analysis
should be performed to explore false lumen remodeling.
