Hybrid aortic arch repair is a surgical procedure that combines traditional open surgery and endovascular techniques to treat complex aortic conditions affecting the arch of the aorta. The procedure is typically used to treat conditions such as aortic aneurysms or dissections that involve the aortic arch and its major branches. It involves both a surgical approach to access the aorta and a catheter-based approach to place stents or grafts to repair the artery.
Hybrid aortic arch repair provides a less invasive option compared to traditional open surgery alone, improving recovery times, reducing complications, and preserving organ function.
