General clinical data, lesion types, surgical methods, perioperative outcomes, and long-term follow-up data were collected. Based on the bypass strategy, patients were divided into an ascending aorta (AA) inflow group (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200948) and a cervical debranching group (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200955).

Diagnoses included intramural hematoma (40.8%), type B dissection (17.5%), type A dissection (14.6%), arch aneurysm (14.6%), and penetrating ulcer (12.6%). All patients successfully completed the procedure, with no intraoperative or 30-day deaths. During a median follow-up of 75.8 months (IQR, 29\u2013128), procedure-related stroke occurred in 8 patients (7.8%), renal dysfunction in 18 (17.5%), and spinal cord ischemia in none. Eleven patients (10.7%) died, and 8 (7.8%) underwent reintervention, mainly for retrograde type A dissection, endoleak, or new-entry dilation. Survival at 1, 3, 5, and 10 years was 98.0%, 94.6%, 89.0%, and 85.8%; freedom from reintervention was 97.9%, 94.2%, 91.5%, and 89.9%. Cervical debranching was associated with better survival than ascending aortic inflow (log-rank\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.024), with similar freedom from reintervention (log-rank\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.88). In an exploratory multivariable Cox model, older age, ascending aorta inflow, and preoperative renal dysfunction were associated with late mortality.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Hybrid aortic arch repair was associated with favorable long-term survival, durable freedom from reintervention, and acceptable neurological outcomes in this single-center cohort. The observed survival advantage in the cervical debranching group should be interpreted cautiously, as ascending aorta inflow was preferentially used in patients with more complex proximal aortic disease.
