Hybrid repair of complicated acute aortic arch intramural haematoma with the Castor single-branch stent graft.

Abstract

We report the off-label application of the Castor single-branch stent graft for a complicated acute intramural haematoma involving the aortic arch. The endograft was deployed in zone 1 with the single branch in the left common carotid artery through a surgical left carotid and percutaneous right femoral artery access. The procedure was completed with the construction of a left carotid-subclavian bypass followed by plug embolization of the left subclavian artery.
