"Based on various cases of aortic disease, I have organized and classified them as follows:"
"The first major category: Hybrid Total Aortic Arch Repair. This is characterized by the need to reconstruct all branches of the aortic arch and is divided into Hybrid Type I: open-chest surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass, involving an ascending aorta-to-brachiocephalic vessel bypass combined with endovascular repair of the entire aortic arch using a covered stent..."
"Hybrid Type II: open-chest surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, involving ascending aorta replacement with debranching of the brachiocephalic vessels, combined with endovascular repair of the entire aortic arch using a covered stent..."
"Hybrid Type III: open-chest surgery under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, involving the ascending aorta..."
