Tailored approach of an anatomically challenging aortic arch aneurysm: when one size does not fit

The management of aortic arch pathology is frequently demanding and poses significant anatomical challenges, ranging from open surgery to hybrid debranching procedures and, ultimately, total endovascular approaches

Sometimes, a combination of such strategies is necessary to overcome these challenges, based on an adequate pre-operative planning
