Abstract

Aortic arch reconstruction remains a challenge for the cardiothoracic surgeon. We present our simplified technique in which we used two grafts for arch reconstruction without circulatory arrest. It is a relatively easy and quick technique consisting of a unique modification of the selective antegrade cerebral circulation system without the need for circulatory arrest in selected cases.
