Abstract

Background The management of aortic lesions involving the aortic arch in patients who cannot tolerate thoracotomy is a challenge.

Case Description A 32-year-old woman who underwent a giant aneurysm at the proximal end of the descending aorta with significant vascular wall calcification. The patient underwent Castor single-branched stent-grafting in the brachiocephalic trunk combined with surgical supra-aortic debranching, which avoided surgical aortic arch replacement and stent fenestration.reopening. The patient was followed up for 9 months, and surgery-related complications were not observed.

Conclusion Hybrid arch repair with supra-aortic debranching and using Castor single-branched stent can be used to treat aortic lesions involving the aortic arch.

Keywords

aortic disease - aneurysm - endovascular procedures/stents - except PCI

Disclaimer

Castor single-branched stent-graft (Microport Medical, Shanghai, China) has been approved by the Chinese Food and Drug Administration and was the first domestic unibody branch stent-graft. Informed consent was obtained from the patient before the surgery.
