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.
