Frozen Elephant Trunk—the Bologna experience [PDF]

Annals of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2020
Complex pathologies of the thoracic aorta have always been a challenge in cardiac surgery, since they may require multiple operations with high peri-operative risks and hospital mortality rates. The technique and the devices developed during recent decades, such as the introduction of the Elephant Trunk and branched graft techniques, have improved the ...

The frozen elephant trunk technique. [PDF]

Nagoya J Med Sci
The frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique, which was an advanced version of the elephant trunk technique, is now the gold standard for distal aortic arch repair. The major advantage is that the distal anastomosis is fixed by the stent; therefore, anastomosis that has been used to be performed in the descending aorta can be performed on the more ...

The evolution of arch surgery: Frozen elephant trunk or conventional elephant trunk?

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Treatment of aortic arch aneurysms and dissections require highly complex surgical procedures with devastating complications and mortality rates. Currently, repair of the complete arch until the proximal descending thoracic aorta consists of a two-stage ...

Origin of prefabricated frozen elephant trunk. [PDF]

Ann Cardiothorac Surg
At first glance, the frozen elephant trunk (FET) appears as a disruptive innovation in aortic surgery. Like any important surgical innovations, however, be it a product or a procedure, the prefabricated, four-branched device has undergone a stepwise, iterative phase of development prior to its first clinical implantation in 2010.

Zone 1 total arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk for type A dissection: early-to-mid-term outcomes [PDF]

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background Total arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk is widely used to treat acute Stanford type A aortic dissection. Zone 1 proximalization, which requires concomitant extra-anatomical left subclavian artery bypass, may provide a practical ...

In situ fenestration of a frozen elephant trunk prosthesis to recanalize the left subclavian artery [PDF]

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques
Maintaining left subclavian artery (LSA) patency is essential for preventing spinal cord ischemia before extensive aortic coverage. We present a case of in situ fenestration on a zone 2 frozen elephant trunk graft to restore the native LSA perfusion ...

Total endovascular repair of a malpositioneted frozen elephant trunk with Thoraflex hybrid prosthesis: A case report [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2022
We report a case of a 56-year-old male who underwent Frozen Elephant Trunk procedure for residual type A chronic aortic dissection, complicated by the release of the distal endovascular portion of the hybrid prosthesis in the false lumen.
