title: [Treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic diseases through hybrid operation].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To review the experience with the hybrid operations for patients with thoracoabdominal aortic diseases, as well as to evaluate and discuss the outcomes.
  
  
  METHODS
  Between June 2008 and September 2011, 11 patients (9 male and 2 female, mean age 52 years) were treated by hybrid operation. Hybrid operation includes debranching of the visceral arteries, followed by endovascular repair of the diseases (include aneurysmal disease, aortic dissection, or Takayasu's arteritis).
  
  
  RESULTS
  All the operations were successful. The mean operating time was 8.5 hours for patients done in one stage and 8.1 hours for the first stage of patient related in two stages. The endovascular stage took on average 2.0 hours. Overall mortality rate was 1/11 and morbidity was 4/11. No aneurysm-related death occurred. Two patients developed endoleak. Permanent paraplegia and renal failure rate was 0. Mean follow-up was 13.5 months.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Hybrid operation is a mini invasive and safe method for thoracoabdominal aortic diseases with acceptable morbidity and mortality.
