Article Abstract
The management of aortic lesions involving the aortic arch in patients who cannot tolerate thoracotomy is a challenge. A 32-year-old woman who underwent a giant aneurysm at the proximal end of the descending aorta with significant vascular wall calcification. The patient underwent Castor single-branched stent-grafting in the brachiocephalic trunk combined with surgical supra-aortic debranching, which avoided surgical aortic arch replacement and stent fenestration.reopening. The patient was followed up for 9 months, and surgery-related complications were not observed. Hybrid arch repair with supra-aortic debranching and using Castor single-branched stent can be used to treat aortic lesions involving the aortic arch.

Bird-beak configuration after endovascular arch repair refers to a gap between the proximal stent and the lesser curvature of the aortic arch that can potentially lead to life-threatening complications through the formation of a 1A endoleak. This case describes a patient who developed a symptomatic type 1A endoleak due to bird-beaking, years after thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair and a complex supra-aortic debranching. The case was further complicated by a stenosis of the left common carotid artery diagnosed with duplex ultrasound and intraoperative transcranial Doppler exam.

Clinical features: The clinical cases we present highlight the use of TEVAR in both chronic (Type B aortic dissections, pseudoaneurysms, and penetrating aortic ulcers) and acute conditions (traumatic aortic transections and ruptured aortic aneurysms). TEVAR is a less invasive surgical approach for management of these critical patients, having as benefits: smaller incisions, avoiding operative risks associated with the classical procedure, shorter recovery time after the intervention and lower hospitalization costs.

Eight years previously, a 76-year-old man underwent an open surgical repair of an infectious abdominal aortic aneurysm through a median laparotomy. The abdominal aorta was resected, and blood flow to the lower extremities was reconstructed using an extra-anatomical bypass from the right axillary artery to the bilateral femoral arteries. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a distal aortic arch aneurysm just below the left subclavian artery, with a maximum diameter of 58 mm.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and clinical outcomes of endovascular aortic arch repair using the Nexus and Nexus Duo endograft systems.
Methods: A multicenter, retrospective study with prospectively collected data was conducted as part of the Italian Nexus Aortic aRCH Endovascular Repair Registry (INARCHER) between 2019 and 2024. Nexus platforms include an off-the-shelf bimodular single branch endograft and a custom-made double-branch device.

Complete thrombosis of the false lumen in chronic aortic dissection is essential to achieve positive aortic remodeling. However, persistent perfusion through aortic collaterals, dissected supra-aortic trunks (SAT), and renovisceral arteries often complicate this process. Our approach to treat chronic dissections integrates TEVAR and custom-made FBEVAR, often combined with supra-aortic trunk debranching or frozen elephant trunk (FET) procedures.
