Application of a Hybrid Vascular Graft for Rapid Endoluminal Branch Anastomoses During Open Aortic Reconstruction

The treatment of thoracoabdominal aneurysms and juxtarenal aortic aneurysms remains technically challenging, with outcomes primarily dictated by aortic cross-clamp and end-organ ischemia during branch reconstruction. This has remained a challenge for the surgeon regardless of an elective setting or an emergent operation. Here we describe the application of a novel hybrid graft technique for aortic branch reconstruction using rapid, endoluminal anastomoses during open aortic reconstruction.
