Objective  To investigate the short and medium term results of Castor single branched stent combined with parallel stent technique in the reconstruction of supra-aortic branches in total endovascular repair of aortic arch lesions. Methods  The clinical data of patients with aortic arch disease who were treated with single-branch stents combined with parallel stents for Z1 anchoring and total endovascular repair from April 2022 to August 2022 in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China were retrospectively analyzed, and the perioperative and follow-up conditions of the patients were analyzed. Results There were 4 males and 1 female with an average age of 46.2±18.6 years. This study included 1 patient of thoracic aortic aneurysm and 4 patients of acute non-A non-B aortic dissection. The success rate of surgical technique was 100.0%. The operative time was 132.3±45.1 min, the immediate postoperative isolation of lesions was satisfactory, and there were no adverse events and death in perioperative period. The median follow-up time was 13 (11-15) months. During the follow-up period, all patients survived without stent displacement, type Ⅰa endoleak, parallel stent stenosis and occlusion, and no re-operation. Conclusion  The short and medium term results of single branched stents combined with parallel stents in total endovascular repair of aortic arch diseases requiring Z1 anchoring is satisfactory.
