Hybrid repair of thoracic aortic arch aneurysm.
BACKGROUND
Aortic arch pathology requiring surgery most often affects elderly patients with multiple co-morbidities and represents a significant challenge to both patient and surgeon.


METHODS
This case report describes the repair of an 8.2 cm aortic arch aneurysm arising at the origin of the left subclavian artery using a combined endovascular and open surgical approach.


CONCLUSIONS
Hybrid techniques allow for the treatment of pathology that would otherwise not be amenable to surgery.
