Abstract:
To create an optimal landing zone (zone 2) in the aortic arch for concomitant or subsequent thoracic endovascular aortic repair of aortic diseases (aneurysm, dissection), surgeons frequently need to debranch the supra-aortic vessels. We present a surgical debranching of the left subclavian artery by performing a centrally located bypass from the left common carotid artery to the left subclavian artery.
