Example of hybrid surgical/endovascular aortic procedure. The patient had a complicated aneurysm of the distal aortic arch. She underwent de-branching of the supra-aortic vessels from the proximal ascending aorta via median sternotomy and ante-grade stenting of the arch and proximal descending thoracic aorta via a side-arm of the tri-furcated Dacron graft (arrow). The procedure was performed without cardiopulmonary bypass as a less invasive alternative to a total arch replacement, which would have required deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and ante-grade cerebral perfusion. (a) Operative view. (b) Post operative 3D reconstruction of CT angiographic images. The patient has consented to anonymous publication of intraoperative photography.
