Early and mid-term results after hybrid total arch repair of DeBakey type I dissection without deep hypothermic circulatory arrest

CONCLUSIONS
For patients with DeBakey type I dissection, the hybrid total arch procedure can be safely adopted with good mid-term results and with low morbidity and mortality. Longer-term follow-up is required to confirm the viability of this technique.
