A single-centre, retrospective study of mid-term outcomes of aortic arch repair using a standardized resection and patch augmentation technique.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the mid-term outcomes after the repair of aortic arch using a standard patch augmentation technique.

Methods: The study included all patients who underwent repair of a hypoplastic/interrupted aortic arch (IAA) in a single institute from June 2012 to December 2019 by a standardized patch augmentation (irrespective of concomitant intra-cardiac lesions). End points evaluated were reintervention for arch obstruction and persistent/new-onset hypertension.
