Complete neck vessel preservation using a fenestrated stent graft for the treatment of proximal anastomotic leakage after open frozen elephant trunk graft aortic arch repair

Abstract

We have reported a case of proximal anastomotic leakage excluded with the Najuta fenestrated stent graft after a surgeon-modified frozen elephant trunk aortic arch graft. The fenestrated stent graft was deployed at the zone 0 proximal site, preserving the cervical branches. Complete neck vessel preservation during endovascular repair using a Najuta fenestrated stent graft appears to be safe and effective for anastomotic leakage after aortic arch aneurysm repair.
