ABSTRACT
Hybrid repair of ruptured aortic arch repair has been proposed as a valuable approach. However, the presence of an anterior mediastinal hematoma must be carefully detected because of the inherent risk of rupture at sternotomy. We report the case of a patient presenting a ruptured aortic arch aneurysm with anterior rupture who underwent hybrid repair using a temporary extra-anatomic brain perfusion followed by total rerouting of the supra-aortic trunks. We propose this adjunctive technique as a means of allowing a safe endovascular exclusion of aortic arch lesions and avoiding the risk of acute and total aortic rupture in case of anterior rupture of aortic arch aneurysms.
