Abstract

Background

The treatment for extensive aortic arch aneurysms involving the aortic arch and descending aorta is challenging for most cardiovascular surgeons. The surgical treatment is associated with a very high mortality rate. The optimal treatment has not been defined.

Case presentation

A 49-year-old male was hospitalized due to chest and upper back pain. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) demonstrated there was an extensive aortic arch aneurysm extending to the left common carotid artery and descending aorta. A novel single- stage hybrid surgery was performed on the patient through two steps: treatment of the aortic arch through median sternotomy and thoracic endovascular artery repair. The patient recovered uneventfully.

Conclusions

Our single-stage hybrid repair approach is safe, simple and effective. It provides an alternative treatment for extensive aortic arch aneurysms.
