A Hybrid Open and Endovascular Repair for Treatment of Bovine Aortic Arch Aneurysm Accompanied by Aneurysm of Patent Ductus Arteriosus with Deployment of Amplatzer Duct Occluder

A rare case of bovine aortic arch aneurysm accompanied by patent ductus Botalli aneurysm was treated using an off-pump hybrid procedure including supraaortic debranching combined with aortic stent grafting and oversewing of pulmonary artery end of the aneurysm. Postoperative computed tomography angiography showed persistent perfusion of the ductus Botalli aneurysm from pulmonary artery, which was successfully closed with an Amplatzer duct occluder. Twenty-two months of follow-up showed good general state of the patient's health status. This less invasive procedure is an alternative to aortic replacement under circulatory arrest and may be the only salvage option for patients in poor general condition.
