Ruptured hemiarch and descending thoracic aorta aneurysm: hybrid treatment

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Ruptured aortic arch aneurysm is a life threatening disease. Surgical repair has an high perioperative mortality rate and totally endovascular treatment is a challenge. Hybrid repair has been proposed as a valuable approach. We report the case of a patient with a...
