Combined surgical and endovascular treatment of aortic arch aneurysms

Repair of aortic arch aneurysms by sequential transposition of the supra-aortic branches and endovascular stent-graft placement is feasible. Extended application of this technique will enable safe and effective treatment of a highly selected subgroup of patients with aortic aneurysms by avoiding conventional arch aneurysm repair in deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest.
