Abstract:
Type II chronic dissecting thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms are a surgically challenging disease. The conventional thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair technique using cardiopulmonary bypass is a high-risk procedure. However, a recently developed endovascular technique may be an alternative treatment for the disease, but faces the obstacle of lesional restriction. This new technique uses a hybrid strategy to overcome the limits of endovascular thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Herein, we report on a successful outcome after performing the hybrid visceral debranching procedure.
