Abstract:
Total arch replacement with median sternotomy and hypothermic circulatory arrest is described for Takayasu arteritis (TA) with aortic arch and supra-aortic trunk involvement.(1,2) We report aortic arch revascularization using extra-anatomic bypass through partial sternotomy, without cardiopulmonary bypass, in a TA patient. Avoidance of cardiopulmonary bypass may enhance outcomes and represent an attractive approach to arch revascularization in TA.
