ORLive Program Discusses Ideal Procedure for High-Risk Cardiac Patients
FARMINGTON, CT, Feb 14, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
In the past, total arch replacement was considered to be one of the
most risky cardiac procedures because the patient had to be put on a
heart-lung machine and blood flow to the head and body were
temporarily stopped (circulatory arrest) after the patient had been
cooled to a very low temperature. Today, the Hybrid Arch Debranching
approach has dramatically lowered the morbidity and risk of total
arch replacement for aortic aneurysms. The University of Maryland
Medical Center presents a webcast featuring a Hybrid Arch Debranching
operation. The surgery is performed by Teng C. Lee, M.D., assistant
professor of surgery at the University of Maryland School of
Medicine. Aortic arch aneurysms are traditionally treated with open
surgery, which involves putting the patient on a heart-lung machine
temporarily stopping blood flow to the head and body. The hybrid arch
debranching repair is less invasive than the traditional surgery and
has a lower risk.
