Conventional open versus hybrid arch repair of aortic arch disease: early and long-term outcomes

ConclusionsIn the treatment of aortic arch diseases, HAR showed equivalent short-term outcomes compared with TAR but was limited regarding long-term outcomes beyond 5 years post-procedure. Conventional TAR remains the gold standard of therapy, and our findings suggest that the hybrid approach should be reserved for strictly selected patients with significant comorbidities.
