Single Institution Experience with Hybrid Endovascular and Surgical Repairs Involving the Distal Aortic Arch.

Background: A hybrid approach of aortic arch and descending aorta pathology, involving surgical debranching of the great vessels after endovascular stenting, has been increasingly used as an alternative to entirely open surgical repair. This study reviews and reports our single-center experience with hybrid aortic arch repair over the span of a decade.

Methods: A total of 43 patients who underwent hybrid arch repair from 2005 to 2015 were identified.
