Hybrid interventions combining ascending/aortic arch replacement with TEVAR of the descending thoracic aorta (DTA) are associated with good outcomes. Despite the existence of dedicated devices (E-vita®, Thoraflex®), they may not be available in good time in emergent cases that might require inventive solutions, like the one...
