Endografting techniques, comparing to open surgery, are less invasive approaches. However, an adequate proximal landing zone remains a challenge and, regarding this issue, parallel graft techniques represent a viable endovascular treatment option in patients with challenging aortic arch pathology by extending the proximal landing zone while maintaining aortic side branches perfusion. Parallel graft techniques required a thorough planning and the clinical and imagiological follow-up are mandatory. They appear to be a safe and minimally invasive alternative techniques in selected fragile patients. The authors report three clinical cases that required the use for parallel grafts to treat complex pathology of aortic arch.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Angiologia e Cirurgia Vascular}, author={Augusto, Rita and Campos, Jacinta and Coelho, Andreia and Coelho, Nuno and Pinto, Evelise and Semião, Carolina and Ribeiro, João and Peixoto, João and Brandão, Daniel and Canedo, Alexandra}, year={2020}, month={Apr.}, pages={35–40} }
