Abstract: We describe a minimally invasive technique for complete aortic arch repair without cardiopulmonary bypass. A 77-year-old man with severe obstructive airways disease presented with aneurysmal disease of his aortic arch. Through a median sternotomy and the application of a side-biting clamp, the common trunk of a bifurcation Dacron graft was anastomosed to the ascending aorta. The limbs of the graft were anastomosed to the innominate and left common carotid arteries, respectively. The left subclavian artery was ligated. Two endoluminal stent grafts were deployed via a side arm in the Dacron graft, covering the whole arch. Completion angiography and transesophageal echocardiography revealed excellent seating of both stent grafts, with no endo-leaks. The patient had a rapid, uneventful post-operative recovery. Follow-up CT scanning revealed complete exclusion of the arch aneurysm.
