Chronic Aortic dissection (CAD)
These are usually hemodynamically stable patients. The most preferred
option at present is zone 2 implantation of hybrid prosthesis. With the
advent of the E-VITA Open Plus, it is possible to perform a zone 0
implantation in these patients as well. The supra-aortic arch vessels
can be debranched in a way similar to Matalanis and team [10]. These
debranched vessels can then be incorporated into the hybrid prosthesis.
This is easier and faster than the conventional FET in zone 2.
