Fig 1 (A) Intraoperative identification of the small area devoid of calcification. The pledget-lined pursestring suture is fixed around the puncture site. By needle puncture (arrow), a guidewire is inserted into the ascending aorta. (B) The hybrid graft is inserted over the guidewire and opened with a trigger-wire mechanism, achieving an adequate run-in.

Fig 2 (A) A Y graft is customized by tailoring two more hybrid grafts to the inflow branch. (B) Bilateral carotid revascularization is accomplished by sutureless attachment of the two grafts to the crossover graft previously implanted.

Fig 3 (A) Postoperative computed tomographic view of reconstructed aortic arch and bifurcated graft. Extensive calcifications of the ascending aorta are detailed: a small anterior area devoid of pathologic changes is allowed, to obtain an inflow site. (B) Three-dimensional maximum intensity projection (MIP) visualization showing the amount and behavior of the hybrid graft inserted into the ascending aorta.
