an overall in-hospital mortality of 7.2% (7 of 97). Follow-up data were obtained from all patients, and the mean follow-up time was 43.36 25.5 months. The 5-year survival rate by Kaplan-Meier analysis was 86. 6%. Three patients with type I endoleak was successfully resolved during the operation. No endograft caudal migration occurred. Late aortic rupture was found in two patients, and two patients received reoperations during the follow-up period. No postoperative paraplegia was found. Conclusions: The long-term outcomes of hybrid total arch repair for dissecting aneurysms are satisfactory. This procedure may be an alternative for conventional total arch replacement for high-risk patients.
