INTRODUCTION: Aortic arch pathology requiring surgery most often affects elderly patients with multiple co-morbidities and represents a significant challenge to both patient and surgeon. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This case report describes the repair of an 8.2 cm aortic arch aneurysm arising at the origin of the left subclavian artery using a combined endovascular and open surgical approach. CONCLUSION: Hybrid techniques allow for the treatment of pathology that would otherwise not be amenable to surgery.
