Abstract
BACKGROUND Hybrid debranching repair of pararenal and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms was initially designed as a better alternative to standard open repair, addressing the limitations of endovascular repair involving the visceral aorta. We reviewed the collective outcomes of hybrid debranching repairs using extra-anatomic, open surgical debranching of the renal-mesenteric arteries, followed by endovascular aortic stenting. METHODS Data from patients who underwent hybrid repair in 14 North American institutions during 10 years were retrospectively reviewed. Society of Vascular Surgery scores were used to assess comorbidity risk. Early and late outcomes, including mortality, morbidity, reintervention, and patency were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 208 patients (118 male; mean age, 71±8 years old) were treated by hybrid repair with extraanatomic reconstruction of 657 renal and mesenteric arteries (mean 3.2 vessels/patient). Mean aneurysm diameter was 6.6±1.3 cm. Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms were identified in 163 (78%) patients and pararenal aneurysms in 45 (22%). A single-stage repair was performed in 92 (44%) patients. The iliac arteries were the most common source of inflow (n=132; 63%), and most (n=150; 72%) had 3 or more bypasses. There were 30 (14%) early deaths, ranging widely across sites (0%-21%). A Society of Vascular Surgery comorbidity score >15 was the primary predictor of early mortality (P<0.01), whereas mortality was 3% in a score ≤9. Early complications occurred in 140 (73%) patients and included respiratory complications in 45 patients (22%) and spinal cord ischemia in 22 (11%), of whom 10 (45%) fully recovered. At 5 years, survival was 61±5%, primary graft patency was 90±2%, and secondary patency was 93±2%. The most significant predictor of late mortality was renal insufficiency (P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Mortality after hybrid repair and visceral debranching is highly variable by center, but strongly affected by preoperative comorbidities and the centers' experience with the technique. With excellent graft patency at 5 years, the outcomes of hybrid repair done at centers of excellence and in carefully selected patients may be comparable (or better) than traditional open or even totally endovascular approaches. However, in patients already considered as high-risk for surgery, it may not offer better outcomes.

Abstract
Open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair remains a surgical challenge. Hybrid and total endovascular repair have emerged as alternatives in treating TAAA. Total endovascular TAAA repair may be best performed with branched/fenestrated stent grafts. However, these technologies are not yet widely available. Thus, currently total endovascular TAAA repair using the chimney/snorkel techniques is considered a viable option in many centers. In this article, we briefly review 2 readily available techniques with off-the-shelf devices, hybrid procedure using total abdominal debranching, and total endovascular repair using chimney/snorkel procedures. The hybrid TAAA repair avoids thoracotomy but requires laparotomy and carries high morbidity and mortality (eg, operative mortality, 4%-26% and renal failure, 4%-26%), comparable to traditional open repair. The staged hybrid approach has been proposed to minimize the invasiveness of the procedure, whereas the associated risk of interval aortic deaths is not negligible. Total endovascular repair reduces the morbidity and mortality after TAAA repair (eg, operative mortality, 3%-20% and renal failure, 0%-20%). However, it is technically demanding and the risks of future reinterventions—and need for repetitive surveillance—is inevitable (eg, immediate type I endoleak, 7%-16% and 1-year branch patency, 93%-98%). Currently, there are not enough data to determine which less-invasive option for open repair in patients with TAAA is superior. These alternatives should complement each other and be applied to carefully selected populations as a part of the overall toolbox in treating TAAA.

Comparison of Clinical Outcomes Following One versus Two Stage Hybrid Repair of Thoraco-Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: A Comprehensive Meta-Analysis. Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg 2021; 61:396-406.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE For thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA), it is unclear whether it is better to perform hybrid repair in one (single) or two stages (staged). This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of single vs. staged hybrid repair of TAAA. METHODS The Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Databases (1 January 1994 to 11 May 2020) were searched for studies on hybrid repair of TAAA. Cohort studies and case series reporting outcomes of single and staged hybrid repair of TAAA were eligible for inclusion. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale and an 18 item tool were used to assess the risk of bias. The primary outcome was 30 day mortality, and the secondary outcomes included post-operative complications, overall survival, and other mid term events. A random effects model was used to calculate pooled estimates. RESULTS A total of 37 studies was included in the meta-analysis. The quality assessment of the included studies suggested low or moderate risk of bias. The pooled estimates for aneurysm rupture and death during stage interval were 2% (95% CI 0%-4%, I2 = 0%) and 4% (95% CI 2%-7%, I2 = 0%), respectively. Single repair was associated with a significantly higher 30 day risk of death when compared with patients who completed staged procedures successfully (OR 2.64, 95% CI 1.36-5.12, I2 = 0%). Staged repair also had lower incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (single: 10%, 95% CI 5%-16%; staged: 2%, 95% CI 0%-5%) and intestinal complications (single: 15%, 95% CI 8%-25%; staged: 3%, 95% CI 1%-6%). For mid term outcomes, single and staged repair had comparable 12 month overall survival, aneurysm related mortality, rate of re-intervention, and graft patency. CONCLUSION Two stage hybrid repair may represent a better choice for patients with controlled risk of aneurysm rupture, because it can provide lower 30 day mortality risks, MACE, and intestinal complications, as well as comparable mid term outcomes. Randomised controlled trials are needed to ascertain the effect of repair staging in patients for elective TAAA.

Abstract
Management of recurrent thoracoabdominal aneurysmal disease of the aorta is challenging. We report three patients with previous endovascular or open aortic repair requiring redo repair by treatment by stent-graft implantation of the thoracoabdominal aorta and visceral debranching using an antegrade inflow from the ascending aorta. All three interventions were successful, with two patients alive 5 and 2 years, respectively, after this operation, while the third patient died 2 days after the procedure due to cardiac failure. No paraplegia was observed. As complications from complex open and endovascular procedures are increasing, vascular surgeons should get familiar with alternative management options.

Abstract
Introduction: Despite advances in perioperative critical care and surgical technique, spinal cord ischemia remains a devastating complication of thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Biochemical markers present in peripheral blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may be useful in assessing spinal cord injury. We systematically analyze and report the role of all reported biochemical markers that have been used in assessing and diagnosing spinal cord ischemia in thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Methods: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines were used for this review. Published literature was searched to identify all studies reporting on the use of biochemical markers in thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair in the assessment of spinal cord ischemia. Marker-specific and patient-specific data were extracted from all studies and where possible, subgroup analysis was performed on marker-specific data sets. Results: Fourteen studies of 321 patients undergoing thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair were eligible for further analysis. Seven distinct biochemical markers were used in both CSF and blood samples: S100B proteins (S100B), neurone-specific enolase, lactate dehydrogenase, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAp), neurofilament triplet protein (NFL) and Tau protein, and glucose. There was substantial evidence demonstrating the heightened levels of S100, NFL, and GFAp in CSF in patients with spinal cord ischemia. There is however, wide variability in the correlation of the same 6 biochemical markers in peripheral blood and spinal cord ischemia. Conclusions: In patients with spinal cord injury, dramatic rises occur with S100B, NFL, and GFAp in CSF. However, further work is needed if biochemical markers are to impact on the future of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair.

Abstract
Background Despite much progress in the surgical and endovascular treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic diseases (TAADs), there is no consensus regarding the optimal approach to minimize operative mortality and end-organ dysfunction. We report our experience in the past 16 years treating TAAD by open surgery. Methods A retrospective review of all TAAD patients who underwent an open repair since January 2000 was performed. The primary endpoints included early morbidity and mortality, and the secondary endpoints were overall death and rate of aortic reintervention. Results There were 112 patients treated by open surgery for TAAD. Mean age was 66 ± 10 years and 61 (54%) were male. Seventy-seven (69%) patients had aneurysmal degeneration without aortic dissection and the remaining 35 (31%) had a concomitant aortic dissection. There were 12 deaths (10.7%) and they were equally distributed between the aneurysm and dissection groups ( p = 0.8). The mortality for elective surgery was 3.2% (2/61). The rate of permanent paraplegia and stroke were each 2.6% (3/112). The rate of cerebrovascular accident was significantly higher in the dissection group (8.5% vs. 1.2%, p = 0.05). The survival at 1, 5, and 10 years was 80.6, 56.1, and 32.7%, respectively. Conclusion Our data confirm that open replacement of the thoracoabdominal aorta can be performed in expert centers quite safely. Different aortic pathologies (degenerative aneurysm vs. dissection) do not influence the short- and long-term outcomes. Open surgery should still be considered the standard in the management of TAAD.

Abstract
Endovascular treatment of thoracoabdominal aneurysms: what's new? Thoracoabdominal aneurysms (T-AAA) are aortic aneurysms that involve both the thoracic and abdominal segments of the aorta and its associated visceral branches. Although the first successful open repair was reported over 50 years ago, the risks of treatment remain considerable. As the first generations of devices available for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) were relatively simple tubes or bifurcated grafts, initial attempts to extend the benefits of EVAR to patients with T-AAA lead to "hybrid solution". Good results with hybrid repairs have not been universal and the approach does not exploit all of the potential advantages of a "pure" endovascular approach (lesser surgical insult). This unmet need, together with rapid technological advances, has encouraged the development of custom-made endografts with fenestrations and/or branches (F-BEVAR) for extension into the visceral vessel ostia. F-BEVAR requires considerably more complex device design and planning than conventional EVAR. Deployment is more technically demanding and takes longer to complete. Thus, patient, aneurysm anatomy and surgical team selection is paramount. Favorable outcomes have been widely reported following T-AAA repair with F-BEVAR in expert centers; more complex aortic lesions such as T-AAA in the context of chronic dissection or arch aneurysms are thus now also offered endovascular repair with F-BEVAR.

Abstract
The authors report the successful repair of a Crawford type III thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) with a thrombosed infrarenal component using a modified hybrid technique without aortic clamping in a high-risk patient. A 64-year-old male with a history of hypertension, diabetes, and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease presented with acute on chronic backache and bilateral short distance claudication. A computerized tomography scan demonstrated a large, nonleaking Crawford type III TAAA with thrombosed infrarenal component of the aneurysm. In addition, both common iliac arteries were occluded with the chronic thrombus. A single-stage, modified hybrid procedure involving an aortobifemoral bypass without aortic clamping, debranching of right renal, superior mesenteric, and celiac arteries as well as an endovascular repair of the thoracic aneurysm was performed. Unfortunately, despite a technically sound repair, the patient died postoperatively from a massive pulmonary embolism. TAAA with a thrombosed infrarenal aorta and bilateral common iliac arteries can be repaired using a single-stage modified hybrid procedure without aortic clamping in high-risk patients who cannot tolerate thoracotomy and aortic cross clamping.

Abstract
Conventional open surgery still remains as the gold standard of care for aortic arch and thoracoabdominal pathology. In centers of excellence, open repair of the arch has been performed with 5% immediate mortality and a low rate of complications; however overall mortality rates are around 15%, being up to 40% of all patients rejected for treatment due to their age or comorbidities. For thoracoabdominal aortic pathology, data reported from centers of excellence show immediate mortality rates from 5% to 19%, spinal cord ischemia from 2.7% to 13.2%, and renal failure needing dialysis from 4.6% to 5.6%. For these reasons, different alternatives that use endovascular techniques, including debranching procedures, have been developed. The reported results for hybrid debranching procedures are controversial and difficult to interpret because series are retrospective, heterogenic and including a small number of patients. Clearly, an important selection bias exists: debranching procedures are performed in elderly patients with more comorbidities and with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms that have more complex and extensive disease. Considering this fact, debranching procedures still remain a useful alternative: for aortic arch pathology debranching techniques can avoid or reduce the time of extracorporeal circulation (ECC) or cardiac arrest which may be beneficial in high-risk patients that otherwise would be rejected for treatment. And compared to pure endovascular techniques, they can be used in emergency cases with applicability in a wide range of anatomies. For thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, they are mainly useful when other lesser invasive endovascular options are not feasible due to anatomical limitations or when they are not available in cases where delaying the intervention is not an option.

Abstract
Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) is a complicated aortic disease. Most treatments for other aortic aneurysms have already shifted from conventional open surgery to endovascular operation; but for TAAA, open surgery remains the gold standard treatment. Several alternative treatments such as hybrid operation as well as endovascular techniques are utilized for the treatment of TAAA. Some of the procedures combine off-the-shelf devices such as the chimney procedure. Some other procedures required custom-made specialized stent grafts. A new off-the-shelf multi-branched endograft, T-branch graft, was released in late 2012, though it was not introduced into Taiwan until 2015. Ultimately, also we plan to report the experience of multi-branched endograft in Taiwan.

Abstract
Background: Compared to open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair, hybrid repair is thought to be less invasive with better perioperative outcomes. Due to the extent of the operation and long recovery period, studying perioperative results may not be sufficient for evaluation of the true treatment effect. The aim of this study is to evaluate 1-year mortality and morbidity in patients with TAAA undergoing hybrid repair. Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, all medical records of patients undergoing hybrid repair for TAAA at the Erasmus University Medical Center between January 2007 and January 2015 were studied. Primary outcome measures were 30-day and 1-year mortality. Secondary outcome measures included major in-hospital postoperative complications. Results: A total of 15 patients were included. All-cause mortality was 33% (5 of the 15) at 30 days and 60% (9 of the 15) at 1 year. Aneurysm-related mortality was 33% (5 of the 15) and 53% (8 of the 15) at 30-day and 1-year follow-up, respectively, with colon ischemia being the most common cause of death. Major complication rate was high: myocardial infarction in 2 (13%) cases, acute kidney failure in 5 (33%) cases, bowel ischemia in 3 (20%) cases, and spinal cord ischemia in 1 (7%) case. Conclusion: The presumed less invasive nature of hybrid TAAA repair does not seem to result in lower complication rates. The high mortality rate at 30 days continues to rise dramatically thereafter, suggesting that 1-year mortality is a more useful clinical parameter to use in preoperative decision-making for this kind of repair.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair remains a significant challenge with considerable perioperative morbidity and mortality. A hybrid approach utilizing visceral debranching with endovascular aneurysm exclusion has been used to treat high-risk patients and therefore allow repair in more patients. Limited data exist regarding long-term outcomes with this procedure as well as comparison to conventional open repair. This study describes our institutional algorithmic approach to TAAA repair using both open and hybrid techniques. METHODS Hybrid and open TAAA repairs performed between July 2005 and August 2015 were identified from a prospectively maintained institutional aortic surgery database. Perioperative morbidity and mortality, freedom from reintervention, and long-term and aorta-specific survival were calculated and compared between the two groups. RESULTS During the study period, 165 consecutive TAAA repairs were performed, including 84 open repairs and 81 hybrid repairs. Patients in the hybrid repair group were significantly older, were more frequently female, and had a generally greater comorbid disease burden, including significantly more chronic kidney disease. Despite the older and sicker cohort, there was no difference in in-hospital mortality between the two groups (9.9% hybrid vs 7.1% open; P = .59). Major morbidity rates differed by procedure, with patients undergoing open repair having a significantly higher rate of postoperative stroke (9.5% open vs 0% hybrid; P = .017), whereas patients undergoing hybrid repair had a higher rate of new permanent dialysis (14.8% hybrid vs 3.6% open; P = .043). There was no difference between groups in the rate of postoperative permanent paraplegia/paresis (8.3% open vs 7.4% hybrid; P = .294). There was a significantly increased rate of reintervention in the hybrid repair group (12.3% hybrid vs 1.2% open, P = .004), with all hybrid reinterventions performed because of endoleak. One-year survival was similar between groups at 69% in hybrid repairs vs 77% in open repairs. Long-term survival was worse in the hybrid group (5-year survival, 32% hybrid vs 56% open), although late survival appeared to be influenced mainly by comorbid disease burden, given the similar long-term aorta-specific survival between groups. CONCLUSIONS Use of an algorithmic approach whereby higher risk patients with TAAA are treated by a hybrid approach and lower risk patients with conventional open repair yields satisfactory short- and long-term outcomes. The availability of multiple options for TAAA repair within a single center likely allows repair in more patients with consequent decrease in the risk of aorta-related death, at the expense of increased reinterventions for endoleak.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the available literature on endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal (TAAA) and pararenal aortic aneurysms (PRAA) using multibranched stent-grafts. Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were searched between January 2001 and June 2015 to identify articles related to the use of multibranched stent-grafts for the treatment of TAAA and PRAA. Articles with <4 cases and those on juxtarenal aortic aneurysms were excluded. Meta-analyses were conducted to evaluate 30-day mortality, all-cause mortality, spinal cord ischemia, renal insufficiency, endoleak, target vessel patency, and reintervention. Of 370 articles screened, only 4 articles encompassing 185 patients (mean age 71.1 years; 137 men) were aligned with the inclusion criteria. There were 23 PRAAs; the mean aneurysm diameter was 64.5 mm. The Crawford TAAA classification was 10 type I, 47 type II, 37 type III, 58 type IV, and 9 type V; there was 1 Stanford type B dissection in association with a large TAAA. Results of the meta-analyses are reported as proportions and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: Pooled analysis indicated a technical success rate of 98.9%. As study heterogeneity was significant, random effects models were used for meta-analysis. The rate for 30-day mortality was 9% (95% CI 3% to 19%), for all-cause mortality 27% (95% CI 17% to 38%), endoleaks 10% (95% CI 1% to 25%), target vessel patency 98% (95% CI 95% to 99%), SCI 17% (95% CI 1% to 26%), irreversible SCI 6% (95% CI 3% to 10%), renal insufficiency 15% (95% CI 0.8% to 41%), and reinterventions 21% (95% CI 4% to 47%). Conclusion: Use of multibranched stent-grafts in the treatment of TAAAs and PRAAs appears to be feasible and safe based on satisfactory early outcomes in the limited literature available to date. Long-term surveillance and further studies are essential to determine the durability of this technique.

Abstract
Traditional open repair of thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms Crawford type II-IV carries a high perioperative risk and mortality. The hybrid technique for combined surgical and endovascular treatment offers an interesting alternative with reduced risk of paraparesis and possibly a reduced mortality rate. Propositions for refinement of this approach are outlined based on a single centre experience.

Abstract
Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm is a challenging disease that often requires an invasive surgical repair. Recently, a less invasive hybrid approach has been proposed to improve postoperative outcomes in high-risk patients. It consists of an open first stage where arterial visceral rerouting is obtained, using a vascular graft followed by a second stage where the remaining thoracoabdominal aorta is covered with a stent graft. Initial results using this approach seem promising. Here, we sought to describe the hybrid two-stage technique that is most frequently used in this extensive aortic pathology.

Abstract
The introduction of fenestrated stent grafts (SGs) to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) with short proximal necks began in 1999. Nowadays, the whole visceral aorta can be treated totally by endovascular means. The established use of fenestrated devices to treat complex AAAs as a first-line management option has been previously reported. An up-to-date evaluation of the literature was performed including all types of publications regarding the use of fenestrated technology to repair complex AAAs. Fenestrated repair is now an established alternative to hybrid/chimney/snorkel repairs. However, specific criteria and prerequisites are required for the use and improvement of this method. Multiple device morphologies have been used incorporating the visceral arteries in various combinations. This modular strategy connects different devices (bridging covered stents and bifurcated SGs) with the aortic main body, thus excluding the aneurysm from the circulation. Precise deployment of the fenestrated SG is mandatory for successful visceral vessel revascularization. Accurate SG sizing and customization, a high level of technical skill, and facilities with modern imaging techniques including 3D road mapping and dedicated hybrid rooms are required. Most experience has been with the custom-made Zenith Cook platform, although off-the-shelf devices have been recently implanted. More complex repairs have been performed over the last few years, but device complexity has also increased. Perioperative, mid-term, and a few recently reported long-term results are encouraging. Secondary interventions remain the main problem, similar to that observed after traditional endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR).

Abstract
The development of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has allowed a minimally invasive approach for management of an array of thoracic aortic pathologies. Initially developed specifically for exclusion of thoracic aortic aneurysms, TEVAR is now used as an alternative to open surgery for a variety of disease pathologies due to the lower morbidity of this approach. Advances in endograft technology continue to broaden the applications of this technique.

Abstract
Splenic-to-superior mesenteric artery transposition was used to treat proximal celiac in-stent occlusion in one patient and to prepare a landing zone for thoracic endograft treatment of a dissection in another. The proximal splenic artery was used as a conduit to facilitate visceral aortic debranching in four patients. Using the splenic artery as a conduit to preserve or restore celiac perfusion without interrupting liver perfusion is feasible.

Abstract
Thoracoabdominal aneurysm of the aorta (TAAA) is a morbid condition, the treatment of which can be associated with high mortality and complication rates, as well as prolonged length of hospital stay. Currently, three approaches to treatment of TAAAs exist: open, endovascular and hybrid repair. Over the past three decades, a significant decrease in postoperative mortality and paraplegia rates has been achieved due to effective application of such treatment adjuncts as left heart bypass, cerebrospinal fluid drainage, application of hypothermia and neuromonitoring, thereby making surgical treatment of TAAAs increasingly safer for the patient. In this report, we review indications and current approaches to surgical management of TAAAs, as well as the factors that influence the efficacy of this type of treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To present a 10 year experience with endovascular thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair using fenestrated and branched stent grafts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Consecutive patients with TAAA treated with fenestrated and branched stent grafts within the period January 2004-December 2013. Data were collected prospectively. RESULTS 166 patients (125 male, 41 female, mean age 68.8 ± 7.6 years) were treated. The mean TAAA diameter was 71 ± 9.3 mm. Types of TAAA were: type I, n = 12 (7.2%), type II, n = 50 (30.1%), type III, n = 53 (31.9%), type IV, n = 41 (24.8%), and type V, n = 10 (6%). Fifteen (9%) patients had an acute TAAA (11 contained rupture, 4 symptomatic). One hundred and eight (65%) patients were refused for open surgery earlier. Seventy eight (47%) patients had previously undergone one or more open/endovascular aortic procedures. Technical success was 95% (157/166). Thirty day operative mortality was 7.8% (13/166), with an in hospital mortality of 9% (15/166). Peri-operative spinal cord ischemia (SCI) was observed in 15 patients (9%), including permanent paraplegia in two (1.2%). Mean follow up was 29.2 ± 21 months. During follow up 40 patients died, two of them probably from aneurysm related cause. Re-intervention, mostly by endovascular means, was needed in 40 (24%) patients. Estimated survival at 1, 2, and 5 years was 83% ± 3%, 78% ± 3.5%, and 66.6% ± 6.1%, respectively. Estimated target vessel stent patency at 1, 2, and 5 years was 98% ± 0.6%, 97% ± 0.8%, and 94.2% ± 1.5%, respectively. Estimated freedom from re-intervention at 1 and 3 years was 88.3% ± 2.7%, and 78.4% ± 4.5%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Endovascular repair of TAAA with fenestrated and branched stent grafts in high volume centers appears safe and effective in the mid-term in a high risk patient cohort. A considerable reintervention rate should be acknowledged, however.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Endovascular techniques in vascular surgery are frequently applied to treat aortic diseases. These minimally invasive procedures changed aortic interventions remarkably. We have to be familiar with new terminology and methods. METHOD New and old surgical procedures gained new role in preparation of endograft implantations. Transforming anatomy of aortic branches - "debranching" - is aimed to create a sufficient fixation of the endografts at safe "landing zones". CONCLUSIONS Knowing the option of hybrid procedures is a fundamental requirement for the vascular surgeon. Equally important is to know the biomechanical characteristics of the available endografts, the possible complications during and after implantation and the treatment options. We have to be aware of the limitations of these new methods and the role of traditional open surgery in the new era. Our intention in this paper is to summarize methods of debranching.

Abstract
Background Endovascular technology now permits total endovascular thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair with high volume centres reporting encouraging results. The long-term durability of such stent grafts is unknown, leading to concerns regarding their use in younger patients. This study reports contemporary outcomes of open repair in young patients. Methods Outcomes for patients age 60 or younger undergoing open TAAA repair between June 1999 and August 2013 with prospective collected data were analysed retrospectively. Results Thirty-seven patients (31 men, 84%) with a median age of 56 (range 22–60) were identified with a median TAAA diameter of 6.9 cm (range 5.6-11). Aneurysm aetiology included degenerative change (18), dilation of chronic dissection (10), connective tissue disease (7) and mycotic degeneration (2). Crawford Type IV TAAA were most commonly treated (17), followed by Type II (10), Type III (7) and Type I (3). Two (5%) patients died in hospital, one from multiple organ failure and one from respiratory failure. Three patients (8%) developed temporary paraplegia, all of whom made a complete recovery and 4 (11%) patients required temporary renal replacement therapy. Median critical care stay was 5 days (range 2–28) with an in-hospital stay of 14 days (range 7–83). During a median follow-up of 72 months (range 13–171), no patient subsequently required any further aneurysm related surgical or radiological intervention. The mean (SEM) survival time was 138.5 (11) months. The 5 year survival was 79.7% (8.3) including early deaths, with no aneurysm related complications. Conclusions The outcome of open TAAA repair in patients aged less than 60 years is favorable. It is against these results that evolving endovascular interventions must be compared.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms with customized branched or fenestrated endografts could be technically challenging outside large-volume centers. This study aims to describe a new endovascular strategy for use of both noncustomized stent grafts and flow-diverting stents in treating complicated thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. METHODS Patients diagnosed with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms and deemed unfit for open surgical repair were recruited. The aim of the procedure was to cover the renovisceral segment of the aorta with flow-diverting uncovered stents, while covering the remaining aneurysm with stent grafts. Aneurysm morphologic evolution and the patency of the visceral branches were assessed at follow-up. RESULTS Between February 2012 and August 2013, 6 selective patients (4 men, mean age 58 years) underwent the novel joint procedure. During mean follow-up of 14 months, aneurysm shrinkage (maximum diameter decrease >5 mm) was demonstrated in 4 patients and aneurysm stabilization (maximum diameter decrease <5 mm) was observed in 2 patients. No aneurysm expansion was observed in any participants. Mean aneurysm diameter decreased from 65.0±8.8 mm to 58.5±12.2 mm (p=0.054), with a significant increase in average sac thrombus deposition volume (sac thrombosis ratio increased from 23.3%±7.4% to 98.0%±3.3%, p<0.001). The majority of side branches (23 of 24) were successfully preserved. CONCLUSIONS Complete endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms with this novel joint procedure may be a feasible alternative in high surgical risk patients. Further validation of this technique is required to substantiate these results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the results of hybrid techniques for the treatment of thoracic, thoracoabdominal, and abdominal aortic aneurysms based on multicenter results and the various series regarding hybrid procedures reported in the literature. METHODS The results of 76 hybrid procedures performed in 19 French university hospital centers between November 2001 and October 2011 were collected. There were 50 men and 26 women, mean age 68.2 (35-86) years. All patients were considered at high risk (ASA≥3) for conventional surgery. Aneurysms involved the thoracic, abdominal, and thoracoabdominal aorta in five, 14, and 57 cases respectively. There were 11 emergent repairs. The revascularization of four visceral arteries was performed in 38 cases. Between one and three visceral arteries were revascularized in the other cases. Visceral artery debranching and stent graft deployment were performed in a one-stage procedure in 53 cases and in a two-stage procedure in 23 cases. RESULTS There were 26 (34.2%) postoperative deaths. Nine of the survivors developed paraplegia, of which one resolved completely. Bowel ischemia occurred in 13 cases (17.1%), and one patient was treated by a superior mesenteric artery bypass. Four patients required long-term hemodialysis. Postoperative computed tomography scan showed a type II endoleak in two patients. CONCLUSIONS Morbidity and mortality in this study were greater than previously reported. Candidates for hybrid aortic repair should be carefully selected.

Abstract
Endovascular repair of chronic aortic dissections (CAD) intend to promote false lumen thrombosis (FLT). This article describes a technique using Amplatzer vascular plugs (AVPs) for entry tear closure of CAD. A 70-year-old man presented with a type II dissecting thoracoabdominal aneurysm. Computed tomography scan showed a very tight true lumen, partial FLT, and 2 entry tears at the level of the left subclavian artery and the visceral aorta, respectively. During a first procedure, aortic debranching was performed using the ascending aorta as bypass inflow. In a second intervention entry tears were closed using AVPs protected by short stent grafts. Technical success was achieved. No paraplegia occurred. Eighteen months later, FLT was complete and aortic diameter decreased. Entry tear closure using AVPs is feasible and allows FLT. Further reports are needed to determine if stent-graft protection of AVPs is mandatory, which may simplify technical aspects of the procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) hybrid repair consists of aortic visceral branch rerouting followed by TAAA endograft exclusion. This technique has been shown to represent a technically feasible strategy in selected patients. METHODS We analyzed 52 high-risk patients who underwent hybrid TAAA repair between 2001 and 2012 in our centre with a variety of visceral rerouting configurations and of commercially available thoracic endografts. Thirty-seven simultaneous (71.2%) and 15 staged procedures (21.8%) were performed with a four-vessel revascularization in 18 cases (34.6%), a three-vessel revascularization in 11 cases (21.2%) and a two-vessel revascularization in 23 cases (44.2%). RESULTS No intraoperative deaths were observed. We recorded a perioperative mortality rate of 13.5% (n=7), including deaths from multiorgan failure (n=2), myocardial infarction (n=2), coagulopathy (n=1), pancreatitis (n=1) and bowel infarction (n=1). Perioperative morbidity rate was 28.8% (n=15), including 2 cases of transient paraparesis and 1 case of permanent paraplegia. Renal failure (n=5), pancreatitis (n=3), respiratory failure (n=3) and dysphagia (n=1) were also observed. At median follow-up of 23.9 months procedure-related mortality rate was 9.6%: two patients died from visceral graft occlusion and three from aortic rupture. There were three endoleaks and one endograft migration, none of which resulted in death. Five patients (9.6%) died as a consequence of unrelated events. CONCLUSIONS Typical complications of conventional TAAA open surgery have not been eliminated by hybrid repair, and significant mortality and morbidity rates have been recorded. Fate of visceral bypasses and incidence of endoleak and other endograft-related complications needs to be carefully assessed. Hybrid TAAA repair should currently be limited to high-risk surgical patients with unfit anatomy for endovascular repair.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the outcomes of hybrid repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms and performed meta-analyses and meta-regressions to assess whether the number of stages during hybrid repair is associated with mortality. METHODS Review methods were according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality. Secondary outcomes of procedural and clinical success were reported descriptively. Meta-analyses, meta-regressions, and logistic regressions were performed to estimate the odds ratio (OR) describing the association between the staging of the operation and in-hospital death. RESULTS We included 19 studies of 660 patients. Procedures were single-staged in 288 patients and staged in 372. Perioperative mortality ranged from 0% to 44.4%, and spinal cord ischemia ranged from 0% to 15.3%. After a mean follow-up of 26 months (range, 6-88.5 months), the overall mortality was 20.8%. The meta-regression of all studies' summary data (OR, 0.64; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.19-2.16; P = .45; I(2) = 0.42) and a meta-regression where mortality rates in four studies were stratified by operative staging (OR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.24-1.36; P = .19; I(2) = 0.38) supported a two-stage procedure but failed to reach statistical significance. Logistic regressions of individual patient data from a single center demonstrated evidence that a staged procedure was safer (adjusted OR, 0.04; 95% CI, 0.00-0.96; P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Hybrid repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms may reduce early morbidity and mortality even in a group considered high risk for open surgery but still carries risks of perioperative complications. This study suggested advantages to a staged procedure, but statistically significant evidence is lacking. Prospective data are still needed to optimize hybrid repair and best define its role.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) represents a considerable technical challenge. Since its first description in 1955, open repair of TAAA has been considered the gold standard of repair. Despite improvements in surgical techniques, spinal cord protection and post-operative critical care support, patients who undergo open repair are faced with a mortality rate of 5-35 %. We report the first Irish experience of endovascular management of TAAAs. RESULTS To date five patients have undergone endovascular repair; four had hybrid repair and one a fenestrated graft. The mean age of the patients was 66.8 ± 3.4 and the mean aneurysm diameter was 6.74 ± 0.6 cm. All patients were ASA III. Two-stage hybrid repair was associated with an increased risk of complications, prolonged intensive care unit and overall hospital stay. One patient died in the perioperative period due to rupture of their aneurysm between the two stages of their hybrid repair. CONCLUSION The role of endovascular techniques in the treatment of TAAA continues to evolve. Hybrid and complete endovascular repairs do not replace conventional repair, but provide an alternative for high-risk patients who might otherwise be denied treatment.

Abstract
Open repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. While open repair has remained the mainstay for treatment, this major surgical reconstruction is associated with a variety of complications due to the cardiopulmonary stress of this large-scale operation. Some of these complications include respiratory failure, heart failure, and acute renal failure, as well as spinal cord ischemia. With the progression of endovascular stent-graft technology, the development of a staged hybrid technique was first reported in the literature in 2004. The tenet of the hybrid approach is based on the reduced physiologic stress of operating through one visceral cavity rather than two (abdomen and thorax), which reduces complications and improves the ultimate outcome. This hybrid approach effectively "shifts" the proximal endovascular aortic repair landing zone away from a diseased paravisceral aorta to healthier proximal descending thoracic aorta by means of preceding open retrograde visceral bypass grafts. When thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair became available in 2005, there was much enthusiasm for this hybrid technique to extend the application for these patients with aneurysmal aorta in the paravisceral segment. However, subsequent reports have raised caution about the ultimate outcomes for this hybrid approach due to the major complications that still occur for these commonly infirmed patients. Instead, consideration of preoperative comorbidities, such as renal insufficiency, can influence outcomes. Review of the existing body of evidence identifies multiple small series describing these patients, but there is limited data of controlled trials or reasonable comparisons. We review some of the existing reports and provide our own experience with the hybrid technique of visceral debranching in preparation of a hybrid approach for thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair. We retrospectively evaluated our own experience evaluating hybrid repairs for TAAAs over a 5-year period. Between 2006 and 2010, 18 hybrid TAAA repairs were performed. Thirty-day mortality was 11.1%, with a 30-day visceral graft patency of 94.4%. One patient ruptured between visceral debranching and endovascular TAAA exclusion and is included as one of the two mortalities. Overall spinal cord ischemia occurred in 11.1% of hybrid TAAA repair patients. While fenestrated stent-graft technology continues to develop, the hybrid approach to TAAAs may reduce mortality as well as morbidity, particularly spinal cord ischemia, as supported by the current body of literature. The timing of each component of the staged approach remains to be standardized and long-term graft patency has not been established.

Abstract
We report our three-year experience with the visceral hybrid procedure for patients with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, dissections and Takayasu's arteritis. We also evaluate and discuss the outcomes of hybrid procedures. Hybrid procedures include debranching of the visceral or renal arteries followed by endovascular repair of the disease. The surgical strategy was designed individually to reduce trauma and minimize stent coverage area. A series of 11 patients (9 men, mean age 52 years) were treated between June 2008 and September 2011. The pathologies were aneurysmal disease (thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms) (5, 45.5%), aortic dissection (thoracoabdominal aortic dissection) (4, 36.4%) or true/false aneurysm formation after Takayasu's arteritis (2, 18.2%). Simultaneous approach (9, 81.8%) and staged approach (2, 18.2%) were performed. The mean follow-up was 13.5 months (range 1–36). The technical success was 100%. Stent grafts were implanted in the entire or part of the thoracoabdominal aorta. The overall mortality rate was 9.1% (1/11) with no aneurysm-related death. The permanent paraplegia and bypass graft occlusion rate was 0%. The overall morbidity was 36.4% with two endoleaks (2/11, 18.2%). In conclusion, hybrid procedures can minimize surgical invasiveness in treatments of thoracoabdominal aortic pathologies, and it is a safe method with acceptable morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
The authors describe the case of a 59-year-old man, a former smoker, with hypertension, chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis, and a history of stent grafting for repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm and miliary tuberculosis, who was diagnosed with constrictive pericarditis and a thoracic aortic aneurysm. In a patient with such a complex medical history, there were several etiologies to consider. The treatment consisted of pericardiectomy and a hybrid technique of supra-aortic debranching and subsequent endovascular stent-graft repair.

Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with hostile aortic neck is not a good candidate for conventional endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), and a recent paper showed that EVAR with chimney technique (Ch-EVAR) yielded reasonable outcome. We report here a case of successful Ch-EVAR treatment of AAA with hostile neck. An 81-year-old man presented with a 71-mm AAA during evaluation of a gastric ulcer. Aortic neck was 30 mm in diameter, 10-15 mm in length and angulated by 100°. EVAR was performed with chimney stenting to both renal arteries, and the patient recovered after transient hematuria. At one-year follow-up, AAA had increased by 7 mm with delayed type I endoleak control without renal insufficiency. The patient needed close follow-up.

Abstract
PURPOSE Celiac trunk coil embolization before thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) of a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm involving the celiac trunk can prevent type II endoleaks. One disadvantage of conventional coil embolization is the risk of coil displacement. We performed coil embolization under balloon occlusion of the celiac trunk to address this issue. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between December 2008 and January 2011, 5 patients (3 men and 2 women, mean age 76 years) were included in this study. For all patients, after confirming the collateral blood flow from the superior mesenteric artery via the pancreaticoduodenal arcades by using the balloon occlusion test, celiac trunk coil embolization proceeded under balloon occlusion of the proximal part of the celiac trunk. RESULTS Balloon-assisted coil embolization of the celiac trunk was completed for all patients without any complications. All coils were deployed as planned in the short segment of the celiac trunk without displacement. Coil migration, ischemic complications, and endoleaks via the celiac trunk did not arise in any of the patients over a follow-up period of 77-637 (mean 258) days. CONCLUSIONS Balloon-assisted coil embolization of the celiac trunk before TEVAR could be a feasible treatment option for suitable patients.

Abstract
A 70-year-old woman presented with crescendo right lower limb monoplegia. Magnetic resonance imaging depicted anterior spinal artery syndrome with an 8.5 cm Crawford type II thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA). A staged hybrid procedure was performed, following which she had total exclusion of her TAAA and full resolution of her monoplegia. Clinical presentations of TAAAs can be diverse and require detailed clinical knowledge and lateral thinking to unearth unorthodox presentations. This erratic presentation of a TAAA with anterior spinal artery syndrome outlines particular challenges with management and portrays the need for tailored utilization of contemporary techniques to deal with the growing complexity of TAAAs.

Abstract
The case of a patient with type II TAAA (thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm), who underwent multistage hybrid procedure, is presented. This high-risk patient was excluded as ineligible for conventional open repair. At first, the bypass between both common carotid arteries was inserted. Then, the transperitoneal viscerorenal revascularization was performed to ensure blood perfusion. At the end, the stent graft from the aorta arch to its bifurcation was deployed with endovascular techniques. This stent graft covered left common carotid artery, left subclavian artery, visceral trunk, superior mesenteric artery and both renal arteries. The patient had been observed for eight years with relatively low complication rate. The hybrid open-endovascular repair (HOER) shows promising results in patients at prohibitive risk for classic reconstruction.
