Abstract
- Conventional surgery for aortic arch aneurysms have many postoperative complications and a high mortality rate due to prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time, especially in high risk patients. In this report, we present two cases of a hybrid procedure that involves open brachiocephalic bypass with concomitant endovascular arch stent grafting in high risk patients with distal aortic arch aneurysm.
