摘要

Treatment of aortic arch pathology is rapidly evolving. Current techniques utilize a combination of open and endovascular approaches. Existing techniques such as B-SAFER require endograft modification for complete arch debranching which may predispose the graft to failure or endoleak. We developed the FETHAR, a novel method for hybrid aortic repair and demonstrate its use in a patient who presented with an acute dissection with contained rupture. Following repair, we demonstrate excellent seal without endoleak on the post-operative CT scan. Ultimately, this repair allows for complete arch debranching, an anastomosis in zone 2 of the aortic arch, and no endograft modification.
