1
Reports on the chimney technique for aortic arch branches revascularization were excluded.
2
Doppler evaluation showed no evidence of aortic arch or pulmonary artery obstruction.
3
An embryological hypothesis for the anomalies of the aortic arch is proposed.
4
Results: Hemorrhage from the aortic arch was controlled in all patients.
5
There were no deaths in patients with associated interrupted aortic arch.
6
The combination of aortic atresia and interrupted aortic arch is a rare condition.
7
Evolution in the endovascular era has influenced the management of aortic arch pathologies.
8
Via median sternotomy, the aortic arch was opened in circulatory arrest.
9
Severe calcification of the ascending aorta and the aortic arch complicates cardiac surgery.
10
The huge thrombus was removed successfully from the aortic arch by urgent surgery.
11
An MRI showed a residual stenosis of the aortic arch and a small aneurysm.
12
Circulatory arrest time was significantly reduced by using a modified repair of the aortic arch.
13
Conclusions: A modified distal aortic arch occlusion can considerably shorten the duration of circulatory arrest.
14
A chest computed tomographic scan revealed severe calcification on the ascending aorta and aortic arch.
15
Brachiocephalic vein stenosis was found near the aortic arch.
16
Thirty-seven percent required aortic arch replacement and 35% required concomitant cardiac or vascular procedures.
