Is the classical elephant trunk better than the frozen elephant trunk?

Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2021
Aortic diseases located in the ascending aorta, aortic arch or proximal descending aorta often require more than one surgical intervention depending on the type of pathology and its extent as well as future anticipated aortic problems. These obstacles were tackled in 1983 by Hans Borst with the introduction of the classic elephant trunk (cET). This was

The frozen elephant trunk technique

Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2007
The so-called 'frozen elephant trunk' technique is adapted from the classical elephant trunk technique first described by H.G. Borst in 1983 and allows the repair of concomitant aortic arch and proximal descending aortic aneurysms in a single stage. A 'hybrid' vascular graft consisting of a conventional tube graft with an endovascular stented graft at ...

Is the frozen elephant trunk frozen?

General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2018
The elephant trunks, either conventional or frozen represent the major technical improvements in the treatment of complex thoracic aortic disease. In the last decades, these useful techniques progressively evolved along with the introduction of new devices to facilitate the procedure and ameliorate post-operative results.

Frozen Elephant Trunk Completion

Surgical technology international, 2022
INTRODUCTION: Complex pathologies involving the aortic arch can be treated using the frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique, which is versatile and continues to be improved with different innovations to further reduce, for example, circulatory arrest time and the need for hypothermia. FET may or may not be a definitive repair, however.

[Comparative Study of Elephant Trunk and Frozen Elephant Trunk Techniques].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery, 2021
Twenty-six patients underwent total arch replacement for Stanford type A aortic dissection, including that with elephant trunk technique (ET group, n=10) or with frozen elephant trunk technique (FET group, n=16). We compared preoperative and intraoperative findings, postoperative results and distal aortic arch remodeling between the two groups.

Frozen elephant trunk for blunt aortic arch injury

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2022
Total arch replacement with the frozen elephant trunk technique is expanding its indications to treat a wide range of aortic arch and descending aortic conditions. Although blunt thoracic aortic injury commonly occurs at the aortic isthmus or descending thoracic aorta, we encountered a 36-year-old male patient with Grade III blunt aortic injury located

Frozen Elephant Trunk for Aortic Dissection

2021
Frozen elephant trunk (FET) hybrid procedures combine open surgical graft interposition repair of the proximal ascending aorta and arch with an endovascular stentgraft repair at the distal arch and proximal descending thoracic aorta in a single procedure. It was devised to minimize the risk of a more extensive repair in patients with extensive thoracic

The frozen elephant trunk: an overview of hybrid prostheses

Expert Review of Medical Devices
Thoracic aortic pathologies implicating the aortic arch and the descending thoracic aorta (DTA) are primarily managed with total aortic arch replacement (TAR). This can be performed as a single-procedure hybrid fashion using the frozen elephant trunk technique (FET), which utilizes hybrid prosthesis.
