Sutureless anastomosis using an intraluminal ringed graft and stent graft bridging has been reported. We incorporate the vascular ring connector, angiography-assisted sutureless telescoping anastomosis technique, and thoracic endovascular aortic repair, rendering the hybrid arch repair for acute type A aortic dissection sutureless. Herein, we presented our sutureless procedure for acute type A aortic dissection.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Between January 2022 and April 2023, 19 patients who underwent sutureless type II hybrid arch repair were enrolled.

The sutureless type II hybrid arch repair was performed in a median operative time of 397\u2009min (IQR: 111.5), with a cardiopulmonary bypass time of 184\u2009min (IQR: 52.5). The fully sutureless type II hybrid arch repair further reduced the abovementioned times. In-hospital death was two in 10.5%. Seventeen discharged patients had regular follow-ups in a median of 553\u2009days (IQR: 129). The serial computed tomography scan revealed all reconstructed arch vessels were patent, and positive aortic remodelling was observed at the arch and thoracic endoprosthesis levels at 100% and 94.2%, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Sutureless type II hybrid arch repair is feasible, demonstrating complete procedural success and favourable postoperative outcomes in mid-term follow-up.
