Ultra-Hybrid Repair: Open Thoracoabdominal Completion after Descending Stent Grafting

To characterize patient risk profiles and outcomes associated with staged ultra-hybrid repair of extensive aortic disease, in which open thoracoabdominal completion was performed after thoracic stent grafting. From 1/2006 to 1/2021, 92 patients underwent open thoracoabdominal repair of chronic dissection (n=58, 63%), degenerative aneurysm (n=28, 30%), endoleak (n=4, 4.3%), or symptomatic acute type B dissection (n=2, 2.2%) after descending thoracic stent grafting (69, 75%), frozen elephant trunk (5, 5%), or both (18, 20%).
