Acute angulations of native thoracic aortic segments affect treatment strategies for acute and chronic thoracic aortic pathology. These angulations might present an issue not only in segments where thoracic endovascular aortic repair is planned but also in segments where open repair is intended. Consequently, clinical scenarios arise where there is need for adapting strategies in frozen elephant trunk implantation. In this conceptual report, we do describe a technical modification to solve this issue.
