The treatment of acute Type I aortic dissection is an essential life-saving operation. This case presentation demonstrates one of the many methods to facilitate reconstruction, with narration offering tips and tricks.
The video depicts the sizing for the antegrade frozen elephant trunk, central aortic cannulation guided by the TEE with the TEE images for reference, moderate hypothermia with ACP/RCP, and root reconstruction with decision-making to utilize Cabrol reconstruction of the coronaries.
