Outcomes of Antegrade Stent Graft Deployment During Hybrid Aortic Arch Repair.

CONCLUSIONS: Hybrid repair of complex aortic arch pathology with antegrade stent graft deployment can be performed safely with high technical success while obviating the need for a second operation. Reasonable midterm survival can be anticipated; however, older age, preoperative coagulopathy, and postoperative acute kidney injury are factors associated with poor outcome.
