Circulation arrest is widely used during total aortic arch replacement. However, the conventional procedures have high morbidity and mortality. We modified the hybrid procedure by optimizing the sequence of anastomosis between the graft and aorta. As a result, the time of extracorporeal circulation was obviously shortened, and cardiac arrest was needed only during the two anastomoses of the aorta with aorta graft main body. In addition, both circulation arrest and deep hypothermia were avoided. Leakage was also prevented by creating a lengthened sealing zone for stent graft deployment.

: The aim of this study is to assess whether changes in Pulse Pressure Variation (PPV) and Stroke Volume Variation (SVV) following a VtC can predict the response to fluid administration in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia with protective mechanical ventilation. : A total of 40 patients undergoing general surgery or vascular surgery without clamping the aorta were enrolled. Protective mechanical ventilation was applied, and the radial artery was catheterized in all patients.

Few clinical studies have reported on physician-modified inner-branched endovascular repair (PMiBEVAR) for aortic arch aneurysm. Herein, we evaluate the outcomes of proximal landing zone 2 PMiBEVAR. This retrospective study analyzed data from six patients who underwent zone 2 PMiBEVAR for aortic arch aneurysms at a single center between October 2021 and June 2024.

Endovascular stent graft repair was developed to minimize the invasiveness of open surgery for thoracic and abdominal aortic diseases. This approach involves covering the diseased segment with a stented artificial graft. However, in thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for aortic arch diseases, special consideration is needed to preserve the aortic arch vessels.
