TAA 19. Midterm Durability of Ascending Aortic Banding Technique for Off-Pump Total Arch Repair

Rerouting of the supra-aortic vessels and zone 0 stent grafting have been developed as a less invasive option for aortic arch repair. However, aortic arch aneurysm sometimes involves dilated ascending aorta that cannot provide an appropriate proximal landing zone. We have introduced the ascending aortic banding technique, which reduces aortic diameter to provide sufficient proximal landing zone. The aim of this study was to assess the early and midterm outcomes and anatomic change after the zone 0 stent grafting with ascending aortic banding.
