Abstract
Hybrid treatment of DeBakey type I aortic dissection with aortic arch debranching, using a new multibranched prosthesis (Lupiae Graft; Vascutek Terumo Inc, Scotland, United Kingdom) is confirmed to facilitate the subsequent endovascular completion. Midterm results in terms of survival and distal false lumen thrombosis are satisfactory. Further study of this operation is warranted to confirm the effectiveness and the durability of this approach.
