Abstract
Intraoperative bleeding from the distal anastomotic site during graft replacement of the arch to distal arch via median sternotomy to treat an aortic aneurysm is sometimes difficult to control because of the limited distal view. I herein report a case in which I addressed this uncontrollable bleeding using a commercialized frozen elephant trunk.Entities:
