{Abstract}: A 74-year-old male entered the hospital with a medical history of an aortic arch and a descending thoracic aneurysm. To prevent arm ischaemia after the frozen elephant trunk procedure, a left subclavian artery to left common carotid artery anastomosis was performed. The postoperative period was complicated by sepsissternal infection and mediastinitis. We decided to perform a combined total aortic root and aortic arch replacement with 3 cryopreserved homografts. In addition, the "reverse arch technique" was applied to adapt the distal anastomosis. The operation is associated with a high risk of mortality in the postoperative period.
