Background: An anomalous left vertebral artery (aLVA) can complicate aortic arch surgery. We examined the safety of various aLVA revascularization strategies during open total arch replacement.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 92 patients undergoing total arch replacement from January 2018 to May 2023 and identified 11 patients with aLVA.

Hybrid repair of complex aortic arch disease typically requires aortic debranching to create a proximal landing zone for completion arch endografting. Despite advances in endograft technology, physician-modified endografting may be required to customize a prosthesis for challenging anatomy. We present a case of a complex distal arch aneurysm after a prior coarctation repair with a pediatric interposition graft several decades earlier, treated with hybrid repair by double transposition for arch debranching and physician-modified arch endografting for complete aneurysm exclusion.

, an Ascomycetes fungus, is the responsible pathogen for histoplasmosis. Although often asymptomatic, around 1% of cases progress to disseminated infection. Endovascular graft infections with this fungus have been reported, particularly on abdominal aortic or aortofemoral bypass grafts.

Managing an adult patient with aortic coarctation and associated anomalies presents a significant surgical challenge. We present a case of an adult male with aortic coarctation, pre-coarctation distal arch 7-cm aneurysm involving the origin of the left subclavian artery, and aberrant (lusoria) right subclavian artery. He was managed with one surgical approach, consisting of right carotid-subclavian bypass, exclusion of the right subclavian artery, proximal descending aortic replacement and reinsertion of left subclavian artery, using partial cardiopulmonary bypass.

Objective: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) may present as proximal aortic pathology requiring surgical intervention. We present our experience with surgical management of GCA in patients presenting with proximal aortic disease.

Methods: From January 1993 to May 2020, 184 adult patients were diagnosed with GCA on histopathology after undergoing cardiac surgery.
