Total Thoracic Aortic “Pericardialization” for Multilevel Prosthetic Graft Infection

JACC: Case Reports
Background: Prosthetic aortic infection involving composite roots and frozen elephant trunk components presents an extraordinary challenge with high mortality. We present a complex aortic reconstruction using custom bovine pericardial conduits.

Corpses as Repositories of Information and Funerals as Information Centres: Why Natural Selection Favours the Bereaved

Ethology, EarlyView.
Corpses are repositories of information about the cause of death. The distress of the bereaved acts as an honest signal drawing conspecifics to the body, enabling them to learn quickly about the death, adapt their behaviour, and spread knowledge of threats across multiple social levels.

Concomitant Frozen Elephant Trunk and Total Artificial Heart as a Bridge to Heart Transplantation

Annals of Thoracic Surgery Short Reports
Patients with cardiomyopathy and aortic dissection presents significant challenges. Some patients are too ill to go directly to transplantation and require a bridge strategy to address the cardiomyopathy and dissection.

Concomitant aortic root replacement during frozen elephant trunk implantation does not increase perioperative risk. [PDF]

, 2023
OBJECTIVES Our aim was to evaluate the risk of concomitant aortic root replacement during frozen elephant trunk (FET) total arch replacement. METHODS Between 03/2013 and 02/2021, 303 patients underwent aortic arch replacement using the FET ...

Simulated elephant foraging alters tree root exudation rates: Species‐specific responses and implications for belowground carbon dynamics in tropical forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1733-1745, September 2026.
Asian elephants play crucial roles in ecosystem functioning, and their interactions with plants influence above‐ and belowground carbon cycling. We tested whether their mechanically destructive foraging triggers short‐term, stress‐induced shifts in tree root exudation, an underappreciated pathway linking herbivory to belowground carbon processes.

Frozen versus conventional elephant trunk technique: application in clinical practice

, 2017
SummaryTreating complex aortic arch disease with proximal and distal aortic segment involvement is challenging. In recent years, different surgical and endovascular techniques have been applied in a single or multiple-stage approach with the aim to cure ...

Bionic Tactile Skins for Robotics: Fundamentals, Advances, and Future Prospects

SmartSys, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Robotic bionic tactile skins (RBTSs), as crucial components of next‐generation robotic systems, have attracted significant attention in recent years. By enabling robots to achieve human‐like tactile perception and interact effectively with their surroundings, RBTSs play an essential role in enhancing robotic intelligence.

Endovascular septal fenestration using a radiofrequency wire to salvage inadvertent false lumen deployment of a frozen elephant trunk stent graft

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2019
: We report a case of a frozen elephant trunk arch repair, where the stent graft was unintentionally placed into the false lumen. Postoperative imaging demonstrated an enlarged false lumen with no thoracic aorta fenestrations that could be traversed to ...
