Double Transposition and Physician-Modified Endografting for Complex Arch Aneurysm

Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep. 2024 Jun 15;2(3):327-330. doi: 10.1016/j.atssr.2024.05.020. eCollection 2024 Sep.

Abstract

Hybrid repair of complex aortic arch disease typically requires aortic debranching to create a proximal landing zone for completion arch endografting. Despite advances in endograft technology, physician-modified endografting may be required to customize a prosthesis for challenging anatomy. We present a case of a complex distal arch aneurysm after a prior coarctation repair with a pediatric interposition graft several decades earlier, treated with hybrid repair by double transposition for arch debranching and physician-modified arch endografting for complete aneurysm exclusion.
