  • Title: Off pump treatment of aortic arch rupture: extraanatomic hybrid reconstruction.
    Author: Mangino D, Terrini A, Grassi G, Zussa C.
    Journal: Eur J Cardiothorac Surg; 2005 Jan; 27(1):156-8. PubMed ID: 15621491.
    Abstract:
    We present a possible alternative technique to treat the rupture of aortic arch aneurysms on beating heart without necessity of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), hypothermic circulatory arrest and cerebral protection, using a bifurcated vascular prosthesis to revascularize the subclavian and carotid arteries and an endovascular prosthesis to repair the aortic arch. We report the case of a 78-year-old woman successfully treated with this technique. Since in our institution endovascular prostheses are placed by the interventional cardiologists, the operation was done in cooperation between cardiac surgeons and interventional cardiologists.
