{Abstract}: UNASSIGNED: The coincidence of aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) and Kommerell diverticulum (KD) with type B aortic dissection (TBAD) is a rare but dangerous disease. Currently, there are no well-established guidelines for treatment. Most authors seem to agree that surgical treatment is warranted. However, a hybrid repair technique as we performed is flexible, and a promising approach should be considered.
UNASSIGNED: Here, we summarized a case report of successful single-stage hybrid repair of a complicated TBAD combined with ARSA and KD without thoracotomy.
UNASSIGNED: Hybrid repair is a flexible and promising technique that has the potential to replace most open operation procedures in the future with a developed technique and more evidence-based medicine.
CONCLUSIONS: As for ARSA and KD with TBAD patients, open surgical repair has been historically the treatment of choice; however, hybrid repair without thoracotomy means less invasion, simpler operation and faster recovery, which provides a flexible and promising technique that has the potential to replace most open operation procedures in the future with more evidence-based medicine.
