Use of an extracorporeal femoral-carotid shunt in the management of complex supra-aortic disease.

We describe a novel approach where a temporary extra-corporeal femoro-carotid shunt was used to maintain cerebral perfusion during hybrid surgical and endovascular treatment for tandem supra-aortic lesions.
