Abstract
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.
