Endovascular exclusion of the entire aortic arch with branched stent-grafts after surgery for acute type A aortic dissection

Results of aortic arch stent grafting after surgery for type A acute aortic dissection with 2 different branched devices: the custom-made, double branch RelayBranch and the single-branch, bi-modular, off-the-shelf Nexus. Each device was implanted in 2 patients. We observed 100% technical success, no major complications, and all patients were alive and in good clinical conditions after a mean follow-up of 28 months.
