• Clinical study showed superior results compared to HCA alone for preventing embolic risk during operations on the aortic arch1
• Reduced the amount of time and the associated complications of cardiopulmonary bypass and/or selective cerebral perfusion1
• Provided better clinical outcomes in clinical studies1 and is an alternative to the Island Technique
• Intended to provide superior operative support by allowing precise construction of the Elephant Trunk anastomosis
