The treatment of thoracoabdominal aneurysms and juxtarenal aortic aneurysms remains technically challenging, with outcomes primarily dictated by aortic cross-clamp and end-organ ischemia during branch reconstruction. This has remained a challenge for the surgeon regardless of an elective setting or an emergent operation. Here we describe the application of a novel hybrid graft technique for aortic branch reconstruction using rapid, endoluminal anastomoses during open aortic reconstruction.
