Hybrid Procedure with Antegrade Stent-graft Placement for Aortic Arch Aneurysms: Preliminary Experience in Eight Patients

Although cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic cardiopulmonary arrest were avoided in most patients, the rate of neurologic complications suggests the need for further refinement to improve the safety of the technique.
