Lesions comprised degenerative arch aneurysm (46.7%), non-A non-B aortic dissection (33.3%), residual arch disease after Type A repair (13.3%), and penetrating ulcers (6.7%). Preoperative computed tomography angiography and EuroSCORE II were used for anatomical assessment and risk stratification. Based on a two-dimensional principle of anatomical suitability and comorbidity risk, patients were assigned to Type I HAR (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20092), Type II HAR (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200916), or Type IV HAR (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200927). Type I involved debranching with staged Zone 0 thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), Type II consisted of total arch replacement with stented elephant trunk followed by TEVAR, and Type IV used cervical bypass with one-stage Zone 2 TEVAR. All decisions were confirmed by a multidisciplinary team.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All procedures were technically successful, with no intraoperative or 30-day mortality. Type I HAR showed the shortest operative time and least blood loss, whereas Type II had the highest surgical complexity and longest recovery. Postoperative complications were minor, and no stroke, renal failure, or permanent organ injury occurred. During a median follow-up of 18 months (range, 6\u201336 months), no aortic-related death, endoleak, reintervention, or branch vessel occlusion occurred. Aorta-related survival and freedom from reintervention were both 100%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Individualized HAR guided by anatomical features and patient risk provides a safe and effective treatment for complex aortic arch lesions, particularly in high-risk patients unsuitable for open surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcvm.2026.1797260","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,21]],"date-time":"2026-04-21T04:21:39Z","timestamp":1776745299000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Single-center clinical analysis of hybrid aortic arch repair for aortic arch lesions"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Yang","family":"Gao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, The Affiliated Huai\u2019an No.1 People\u2019s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University","place":["Huai\u2019an, Jiangsu, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yilingrui","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, The Affiliated Huai\u2019an No.1 People\u2019s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University","place":["Huai\u2019an, Jiangsu, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Quanhua","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, The Affiliated Huai\u2019an No.1 People\u2019s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University","place":["Huai\u2019an, Jiangsu, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chuanzhang","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, The Affiliated Huai\u2019an No.1 People\u2019s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University","place":["Huai\u2019an, Jiangsu, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lijuan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, The Affiliated Huai\u2019an No.1 People\u2019s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University","place":["Huai\u2019an, Jiangsu, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhiwei","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, The Affiliated Huai\u2019an No.1 People\u2019s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University","place":["Huai\u2019an, Jiangsu, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1169","DOI":"10.5603\/KP.2014.0225","article-title":"2014 ESC guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of aortic diseases","volume":"72","author":"Erbel","year":"2014","journal-title":"Kardiol Pol"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"101632","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacadv.2025.101632","article-title":"Cardiac tamponade complicating type A acute aortic dissection: insights from 25 years of registry research","volume":"4","author":"Gilon","year":"2025","journal-title":"JACC Adv"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"9980","DOI":"10.21037\/qims-2025-558","article-title":"Association of aneurysm sac-specific eccentricity and abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture risk using computed tomography imaging","volume":"15","author":"Li","year":"2025","journal-title":"Quant Imaging Med Surg"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1155","DOI":"10.1177\/15266028231205411","article-title":"Outcomes of castor single-branched stent graft for reconstruction of multiple supra-aortic branches in aortic arch disease","volume":"32","author":"Wang","year":"2025","journal-title":"J Endovasc Ther"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1109401","DOI":"10.3389\/fcvm.2023.1109401","article-title":"Cardiopulmonary bypass for total aortic arch replacement surgery: a review of three techniques","volume":"10","author":"Cui","year":"2023","journal-title":"Front Cardiovasc Med"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"498","DOI":"10.1016\/j.echo.2025.03.017","article-title":"Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography in acute type A aortic dissection","volume":"38","author":"Kelava","year":"2025","journal-title":"Contemp Approach.
