title: A Simplified Arch Debranching Technique for Hybrid Repair of Complicated Type B Aortic Dissection.
abstract: Convenient procedures and fewer postoperative adverse events of an arch debranching technique are important factors that need to be considered for assured outcomes of hybrid repair. In this report we describe our hybrid repair with a simplified arch debranching technique. It was used for patients with complicated type B aortic dissection who had undergone previous operations for type A aortic dissection. With this technique, the treatment for complicated type B aortic dissection becomes easier and less invasive, which is especially advantageous for patients with high surgical risk for conventional open repair.
