Objective Reporting a case of hybrid procedure of extensive thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) with type B dissection due to Marfan syndrome (MFS) using a prosthetic graft as the distal landing zone for stent-graft.Methods Retrospectively summarize in-hospital profiles of a patient for who was diagnosed as MFS complicated with TAAA and type B dissection and admmited to Vascular Surgery Department of West China Hospital in May 2018. A GORE-TEX 18 mm×9 mm Y-shaped graft was sewn side-to-end to the bifurcation of left common iliac artery as the inflow site, and a self-made penta-limb graft was sewn side-to-end to the bifurcation of the 18 mm graft. The visceral and bilateral iliac arteries were reconstructed subsequently. Then, the release of the stent-graft was designed from distal to proximal. The distal part of the stent-graft was anchored into the main body of the 18 mm Y-shaped graft.Results The patient underwent the operation successfully with a duaration of 6 h, blood loss of about 800 mL. No serious postoperative complications occurred. Computed tomography angiography at 2-year follow-up showed that the bypass grafts were patent without endoleak, stent migration, stent infolding or infections of the vessel graft and endograft.Conclusion This modified management of the landing zone could be a proper choice for this kind of rare case as extensive aneurysm or dissection involved in patients with MFS.
