The sidebranch was applied to preserve the left subclavian artery in 17 patients, the innominate artery in two and the left carotid artery in one patient. Patients were treated for saccular arch aneurysms, chronic type B dissections with progressive dilatation, type 1a endoleaks after TEVAR, degenerative thoracic aneurysms, localized type A dissections or a first stage Crawford type II thoraco-abdominal aneurysm repair followed by a subsequent visceral branched endoprosthesis. The median follow-up period was six (1-12) months and technical results were satisfying. All TBE stentgrafts were implanted in the desired position with a patent branch on computed tomography angiography (CT-A) scan six weeks postoperatively. There was no in-hospital or 30-day mortality. Unfortunately, two patients suddenly died seven and eight weeks postoperatively of unknown causes. CT-A scan at six weeks showed no abnormalities concerning the aorta or TBE in both patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The present study demonstrates satisfying technical results with the GORE TBE which was successfully implanted for multiple indications of aortic arch or descending pathology.
