Description
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The frozen elephant trunk (FET) procedure enables easier replacement of the entire aortic arch because it does not require reaching the distal part of the left subclavian artery (LSCA). However, it requires additional management for reconstruction of the LSCA, which is associated with bleeding events. However, the fenestrated FET technique confers a risk of endoleakage from the fenestration site. We report our unique novel technique in which the proximal side of the hybrid stent graft is cut into V-shape around the subclavian artery and sutured continuously around the orifice of the subclavian artery during aortic stump fixation.</jats:p>
