Aneurysm morphology<br>included type IV TAAA in two patients and suprarenal in one patient. The average aneurysm diameter was 82.6 mm<br>(range 73 to 91 mm). Technical success was obtained in all patients. Graft thrombosis occurred at a rate of 30% (3 in<br>10 visceral bypass grafts), which resulted in mesenteric ischemia and transient renal insufficiency. The average hospital<br>length of stay was 53 days, with a median ICU stay of 11.3 days.</div> <div><br><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Hybrid surgery could be considered a bridging measure between open and fenestrated/ branched<br>endograft. The surgical technique will remain a robust and adaptable method of treating this complex and lifethreatening<br>disease in individuals with unfavorable anatomy.</div>}, number={1}, journal={The Thai Journal of Surgery}, author={Arworn, Supapong and Orrapin, Saranat and Reanpang, Termpong and Rerkasem, Kittipan}, year={2015}, month={Mar.} }
