Background The management of aortic lesions involving the aortic arch in patients who cannot tolerate thoracotomy is a challenge. Case Description A 32-year-old woman who underwent a giant aneurysm at the proximal end of the descending aorta with significant vascular wall calcification. The patient underwent Castor single-branched stent-grafting in the brachiocephalic trunk combined with surgical supra-aortic debranching, which avoided surgical aortic arch replacement and stent fenestration.reopening. The patient was followed up for 9 months, and surgery-related complications were not observed. Conclusion Hybrid arch repair with supra-aortic debranching and using Castor single-branched stent can be used to treat aortic lesions involving the aortic arch.
