A modified "elephant trunk" procedure was successfully carried out in a 60-year-old female requiring double-barrel distal aortic anastomosis for chronic type-A aortic dissection. Initial rough fixation of the inserted graft to the descending aortic wall was followed by anastomosis of the graft to the descending aorta-to-arch graft with side-branches. Then aortic arch replacement was carried out with individual reconstruction of the three arch vessels.
