Abstract

Here we report the case of a patient who underwent TEVAR with total debranching of supra-aortic trunks. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) can be limited by inadequate proximal and distal landing zones. Debranching or hybrid TEVAR has emerged as an important modality to expand landing zones and facilitate TEVAR. The incidence of intraoperative surgical conversion remains low, but late complications and remedial secondary procedures may necessitate complex aortic reconstructions that demand advanced endovascular skills.

KEYWORDS: hybrid TEVAR, thoracic aneurysm, debranching of supra-aortic trunks
