We achieved satisfactory early and short-term results with hybrid arch repair into the ascending aorta. Our findings suggest that hybrid repair into the ascending aorta may be a viable option for high-risk patients with aortic arch pathologies.

Aortic remodeling after TEVAR is a significant prognostic factor for better long-term results for type B aortic dissection.

Appropriate stent grafts need to be chosen carefully to prevent Type 1a endoleak and bird-beak configuration after landing Zone 1 and 2 TEVAR. Patients with bird-beak configuration on early postoperative multidetector computed tomography require closer follow-up to screen for Type 1a endoleak.

Our strategy for supra-aortic rerouting and TEVAR showed satisfactory early and late results. The chief risk factor for perioperative stroke was atheroma, and blocking native forward flow from the LCA and the LSA prior to the TEVAR procedure helped prevent stroke.

Objectives: The surgical indications for acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) in patients in cardiopulmonary arrest remain controversial. Outcomes of AAAD for patients who underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) were evaluated.Methods: Between 2004 and 2018, of the 519 patients who underwent AAAD repair, 34 (6.6%) required CPR before or on starting AAAD repair. The patients were divided into 2 groups, survivors (n ¼ 13) and nonsurvivors (n ¼ 21), to compare the early operative outcomes, including mortality and neurological events.
