Great Vessel Reconstructions
<strong>Arch</strong> Aneurysms<br />
• Traditionally open repair has been the<br />
mainstay of therapy<br />
– Associated with a significant morbidity and<br />
mortality<br />
• Stroke<br />
• Endovascular therapy limited by presence of<br />
“healthy aorta” proximally<br />
• Hybrid approach overcomes these proximal<br />
issues and allows for endovascular repair<br />
5
Approaches to Minimize Stroke<br />
• Hypothermic circulatory arrest<br />
• Selective antegrade or retrograde<br />
cerebral perfusion<br />
• Mortality Rate: 0-19%<br />
• Neurologic Injury: 3-18%<br />
• Circulatory arrest > 30-40 min<br />
associated with worse outcomes<br />

• Trans-mediastinal<br />
Possible Solutions<br />
– Complete Reconstruction via sternotomy<br />
• Ascending/<strong>Arch</strong> reconstruction<br />
• Complete arch de-branching<br />
• Extra-thoracic<br />
– Partial Reconstruction<br />
• Extra-anatomic cervical bypasses<br />
• Concomitant or subsequent TEVAR for complete<br />
exclusion<br />
• Goal of therapy is to maintain flow to critical aortic<br />
branches<br />

Extensive Hybrid Repairs<br />
Type II<br />
• Type II arch repairs generally<br />
require frozen elephant trunk<br />
repair<br />
– Ascending aortic aneurysms<br />
• Limited extension into distal arch<br />
– Best used for ascending aortic<br />
aneurysms with minimal extension<br />
into distal arch<br />
– Endograft deployed during<br />
hypothermic arrest - “frozen”<br />
elephant trunk<br />

Conclusions<br />
Great Vessel Reconstructions<br />
• Provide an alternative option for these high risk<br />
patients<br />
• May reduce stroke and mortality however larger series<br />
are required<br />
• <strong>Arch</strong> de-branching reconstructions compared to other<br />
currently available techniques in the US have the most<br />
robust dataset wrt durability and outcomes to support<br />
its use over other techniques and open repair.
