title: [Debranching of aortic arch as part of a complex cardiac surgery].
abstract: We present 54 year-old man diagnosed with an aneurysm of the ascending aorta and arch with aortic regurgitation and coronary artery disease. Surgery consisted of removing an aneurysm of the ascending aorta and arch of subtraction (debranching)cephalic brachiocephalic trunk and the common carotid artery and anastomosis of the descending aorta with vascular prosthesis and coronary artery bypass grafting. Postoperative course was uneventful. In 14 days after surgery the patient was discharged from the unit. Debranching method allowed avoiding hypothermia during surgery and shortening the time of cardio pulmonary bypass.
