INTRODUCTION: The repair of thoracic aortic pathology by open techniques is associated with high morbidity and mortality. METHODS: We describe the first case of hybrid thoracic aortic repair performed in Ireland for a symptomatic thoracic intramural haematoma. CONCLUSION: Hybrid repair with extra-anatomical aortic visceral revascularisation and subsequent thoracic endograft exclusion offers an attractive alternative method of repair for thoracic aortic pathology.
