Hybrid Procedure for Aortic Arch Repair: Arch Vessels Debranching with Supraaortic Revascularization Followed by Endovascular Aortic Stent Grafting / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

Aortic arch aneurysm generally requires an urgent treatment due to the risk of catastrophic aortic rupture. However, conventional surgery for aortic arch repair still carries significant risks of postoperative morbidity and mortality, especially in patients with old age. In an effort to correct the aortic pathology while minimizing the risks of complications, we performed a hybrid technique which comprises the off pump arch vessels debranching and endocascular aortic stent grafting in an 86-old male patient with an aortic arch aneurysm.
