Abstract

The case of a patient with type II TAAA (thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm), who underwent multistage hybrid procedure, is presented. This high-risk patient was excluded as ineligible for conventional open repair. At first, the bypass between both common carotid arteries was inserted. Then, the transperitoneal viscerorenal revascularization was performed to ensure blood perfusion. At the end, the stent graft from the aorta arch to its bifurcation was deployed with endovascular techniques. This stent graft covered left common carotid artery, left subclavian artery, visceral trunk, superior mesenteric artery and both renal arteries. The patient had been observed for eight years with relatively low complication rate. The hybrid open-endovascular repair (HOER) shows promising results in patients at prohibitive risk for classic reconstruction.
