Description
A 64-year old gentleman underwent urgent replacement of aortic arch and proximal descending thoracic aorta for rapidly enlarging mycotic aneurysm of the aortic arch and proximal descending thoracic aorta.
The highly complex procedure involved extensive exposure to enable visualization of the entire aortic arch and descending aorta. The inflammatory process at the aortic arch made dissection and reconstruction extremely challenging.
This video will demonstrate and illustrate our team's approach and management of such a complex and challenging surgery.
