Sumario:A 64-year-old man with prior history of total arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk was admitted for an enlarging descending thoracic aortic aneurysm. Preoperative computed tomography revealed previously implanted J graft open stent graft, a frozen elephant trunk device approved in Japan, with enlarged dissected aortic aneurysm from distal anastomosis site to the level of the diaphragm. The patient underwent descending aortic replacement. Proximal anastomosis was directly performed at the distal end of the previously implanted J graft open stent graft. Hemostasis at the anastomosis site was uneventful and the patient was discharged from the hospital without any aneurysm-related complication.
