Hybrid total arch repair without deep hypothermic circulatory arrest for acute type A aortic dissection

Outcomes of 21 pts undergoing hybrid total arch repair without deep hypothermic circulatory arrest for Type A dissection were reviewed.  1 and 12 month survival rates were 95% and 90%.  There was no evidence for caudal migration of the endograft, and only one patient experienced a type I endoleak that was corrected surgically.  No late rupture or paraplegia occurred.
