Abstract
Objective To assess the effect of hybrid debranching technique in treatment of patients with traumatic aortic arch rupture combined with pseudoaneurysm.Methods Clinical data of 3 patients with traumatic aortic arch rupture combined with pseudoaneurysm repaired using debranching technique from June 2011 to June 2013 were analyzed to determine their clinical features and treatment options.Hypersound or computed tomography angiography (CTA) was performed to confirm the therapeutic effects at postoperative 1 week,3,6,and 12 months as well as annually thereafter.Results All patients underwent operation uneventfully.Operation time was 6.8-10.5 hours (mean,7.6 hours) and intraoperative blood loss was 250-450 ml (mean,310 ml).Length of stay was 26-45 days (mean,32 days).There were no deaths at the 0.5-2 years of follow-up.Hypersound or CTA revealed no leakage of contrast medium after operation.Conclusion Hybrid debranching technique greatly reduces surgical trauma and provides satisfactory outcome and good function recovery. Key words: Aortic rupture ; Aneurysm, false ; Hybridization technique
