Abstract In conclusion, both single-stage and two-stage hybrid arch replacements are effective approaches for treating complex aortic arch pathology. Importantly, the early mortality and neurological outcomes in a single-stage approach are not inferior compared with a two-stage approach especially regarding spinal cord ischemia despite an interval period for collateralization. Furthermore, in this series the single-stage hybrid patients had a lower incidence of endoleaks at 2 years and several patients in the two-stage approach did not complete both stages. Accordingly, where anatomically feasible a single-stage approach may be superior for the treatment of complex arch and distal aortic disease. |
