Snare-assisted thoracic endovascular aortic repair for redirection of a false lumen elephant trunk

In recent years, a hybrid approach to the classic two-stage elephant trunk technique has come into favor for treatment of thoracic aortic dissection. During the first stage, inadvertent intraoperative placement of the elephant trunk into the false lumen can occur on rare occasions, resulting in unto...
