The cumulative experience with endovascular aortic repair in the descending
thoracic and infrarenal aorta has led to increased interest in endovascular
aortic arch reconstruction. Open total arch replacement is a robust operation
that can be performed with excellent results. However, it requires
cardiopulmonary bypass and circulatory arrest and, therefore, may not be
tolerated by all patients. Minimally invasive techniques have been considered as
an alternative and include hybrid arch debranching, parallel stent graft
deployment in the chimney and snorkel configurations, and complete endovascular
branched reconstruction with multi-branched devices. This review discusses the
evolving use of endovascular techniques in the management of aortic arch
pathology and considers their relevance in an era of safe and durable open aortic
arch reconstruction.
