title: Novel hybrid management for aortic dissection with crevasse in the vicinity of critical branching: report of 53 cases.
abstract: Open surgery for aortic dissection with crevasse in the vicinity of critical branching (CVCB-AD) is frequently associated with several complications and a high mortality rate. We report the management of 53 patients with CVCB-AD who underwent a novel hybrid procedure including both open surgery and endovascular stenting. During the follow-up period no paraplegia, stroke, renal failure, or bleeding was observed, and no elective or emergency surgical conversion was required, suggesting that this hybrid procedure is a feasible, safe, and effective strategy for the treatment of CVCB-AD.
