- Abstract
We present a case of a patient, who had previously undergone a frozen elephant trunk procedure for acute non-A–non-B aortic dissection, and developed a traumatic new entry tear due to the displacement of the hybrid prosthesis while skiing. An emergency thoracic endovascular aortic repair was performed without postoperative complications.
