Unusual hybrid repair of a thoracoabdominal and mesenteric aneurysm with aberrant right hepatic artery.

Hybrid approaches for the treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms that combine visceral debranching and endovascular repair are feasible alternatives to open surgery for certain high-risk patients. A 70-year-old man was admitted with a rapidly expanding thoracoabdominal aneurysm involving the superior mesenteric artery, associated with an aberrant hepatic artery. An iliovisceral debranching was performed, followed by the endovascular repair of the thoracoabdominal aorta with a standard thoracic device. The ostial aneurysm was excluded by retrograde implantation of a covered stent from the superior mesenteric artery. Such approach can be considered as a viable alternative in the management of complex thoracoabdominal aneurysms.
