Abstract
The reattachment of the supra-aortic vessels during hybrid arch repair using a branched prosthesis is time consuming and sometimes technically challenging. Here, we describe the surgical technique of bridging the end-to-end anastomoses between the graft branches and the supra-aortic vessels by self-expanding covered stents to reduce suturing time, avoid anastomotic bleeding, enhance true lumen remodeling, and improve vessel alignment to the hybrid graft.
