Abstract

Aim: Open repair for aortic arch pathologies remains the gold standard, despite its association with significant neurological and cardiovascular risks due to the need for cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Hybrid techniques, combining supra-aortic trunk debranching with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), have emerged as promising alternatives for high-risk patients and they are still a viable alternative in face of recently intervening extremely expensive branched and fenestrated stents of total endovascular techniques in unaffordable situations. Our study aimed to evaluate the short-term outcomes of hybrid arch repair using debranching and TEVAR from our tertiary center experience prospectively.
Material and Methods: This is a prospective analytical observational study that included 60 patients who underwent supra-aortic debranching and TEVAR. Those with occlusive carotid disease, proximal landing zones of
