System, devices and methods for providing a blood-free operative region for aortic arch repair procedures. Various embodiments disclose occlusion of the descending aorta, the innominate artery, the left carotid artery and the left subclavian artery while also providing sufficient perfusion distal of the occluding balloons. Various embodiments disclose performing aortic arch repair procedures while the patient's body temperature is maintained an normothermia (about 36 degrees C to about 37.5 degrees C). Other embodiments disclose performing aortic arch repair procedures while the patient's body temperature is maintained at slight hypothermia (about 30 degrees C to about 34 degrees C).

An aortic arch brachial artery vascular stent belongs to medical consumables and is a covered stent, including a main stent and two branch stents. One end of the two branch stents is embedded in the front end of the main stent. The front end of the main stent is provided as a connector connected to the branch stent. One end of the connector is an integrated structure with the main stent, and the other end is closed and provided with a skirt extending outward. Two through holes arranged in parallel are provided in the skirt. One end of the branch stent is a connecting end, which passes through the through hole of the skirt and goes deep into the connecting end of the main stent. A limiting structure is provided at the connecting end of the branch stent. The present invention is novel in concept and ingenious in design. When applied to the innominate artery of the aortic arch, it can effectively reduce the difficulty of surgical placement of the covered stent, shorten the operation time, and improve the success rate.

The techniques of this disclosure generally relate to modular stent device and method of deploying the same. The method includes introducing a delivery system including the modular stent device via supra aortic access. The delivery system is advanced into the ascending aorta. Once positioned, the modular stent device is deployed from the delivery system such that an artery leg of the modular stent device engages the brachiocephalic artery and a bypass gate engages the aorta, wherein the artery leg partially collapses the bypass gate. The artery leg has a greater radial force than the bypass gate such that the artery leg remains un-collapsed and opened. Accordingly, blood flow through the artery leg and perfusion of the brachiocephalic artery and preservation of blood flow to cerebral territories including the brain is insured.
