Abstract: Aortic dissection has been remained highly lethal by far,especially for those involving the aortic arch.Many ways have been tried to tackle with aortic arch lesions including open surgery,endovascular therapy and hybrid procedure.Among them,surgical replacement of aortic arch seems to be the most promising on account of its long-term follow-up.However,there is still no uniform surgical procedure for aortic arch replacement.And surgical complications often occur due to its complex anatomical structures.Accordingly,many surgical procedures aiming at simplifying the procedure and lowering the risk of the operation have been raised.This article will introduce these new ways by reviewing related literatures and making brief comments.
