This study evaluates the short and medium term efficacy of a novel unibody single-branched stent graft for zone 2 TEVAR. Fifty-two patients (mean age, 56 \u00b1 10.9 years; 42 men) with distal aortic arch lesions requiring LSA reconstruction received unibody single-branched stents from September 2019 to March 2021. Computed tomography angiography was performed 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery to observe stent morphology, branch patency, endoleaks, stent-related adverse events, and changes in the diameter of true and false lumens. All stents were deployed adequately, and the technical success rate was 100%. The mean operation time was 121.8 \u00b1 47.0 min. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 6.2 \u00b1 3.7 days, and the mean follow-up was 16.8 \u00b1 5.2 months (range, 12\u201324 months). During follow-up, there were no deaths and complications such as stent displacement or fracture, stenosis, fracture, occlusion, and type Ia endoleaks. The patency rate of the branched segment was 100%. In 42 patients with aortic dissection (AD), the true lumen diameter of the aortic isthmus was 29.4 \u00b1 2.9 mm after surgery, significantly larger than before surgery (20.6 \u00b1 5.4 mm, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05). Postoperative aortic isthmus false lumen diameter was significantly smaller than that before operation (6.1 \u00b1 5.2 mm vs. 16.0 \u00b1 7.6 mm, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05). The new unibody single-branched stent for zone 2 TEVAR is safe and accurate, and its efficacy is good in the short and medium term.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcvm.2022.995173","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,9]],"date-time":"2022-09-09T05:07:11Z","timestamp":1662700031000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Single-center
