Frozen Elephant Trunk in Aortic Arch Disease: Different Devices for Different Pathologies
Medicina, 2021 The frozen elephant trunk technique (FET) requires the use of a pre-assembled hybrid prosthesis consisting of a standard Dacron vascular portion to replace the aortic arch and a stent graft component, which is placed into the proximal descending thoracic

Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair after frozen elephant trunk procedure [PDF]
, 2015 OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the feasibility and the outcomes of second-stage thoracoabdominal (TA) repair after previous frozen elephant trunk (FET) implantation. METHODS: Between 2005 and 2013, 41 patients underwent open TA aortic repair in our institution.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Megaherbivores such as African savannah elephants are ecosystem engineers that modify vegetation structure, yet the cascading effects of these changes on smaller fauna remain poorly understood. We examined how elephant rewilding affected coarse woody debris (CWD) density and the behavior of the Natal multimammate mouse in lowveld savannah, South Africa,

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.A unified, reusable modeling pipeline enables task‐driven design of soft robots across actuator families and task scenarios. High‐fidelity simulations are compressed into compact pseudo‐rigid‐body joint surrogates, while a design‐conditioned meta‐model generates new surrogates from geometry parameters without rerunning finite element method.

Refined indications will improve outcomes after frozen elephant trunk surgery [PDF]
, 2015 The surgical management of patients with extensive disease of the thoracic aorta represents a major challenge, and selecting the best treatment between the classic two-stage elephant trunk (CET) ap-proach and the recently introduced frozen elephant trunk

Warm Surface Waters Dominate Melting of the Denman‐Shackleton Ice Shelf System
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract The ocean dynamics controlling the melting of the Denman‐Shackleton ice shelf system are investigated using a high‐resolution regional ocean‐sea ice‐ice shelf model. Our results show that basal meltwater production exhibits strong seasonal variability, driven by the ocean heat supply toward the ice shelf system, and occurs through two distinct

The Elephant Trunk Skin Inspires a Highly Sensitive and Deformable, Yet Robust, Armor Skin
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 32, 9 June 2026.The study presents the elephant trunk‐inspired armor skin with tactile sensing (ETATS). The ETATS architecture stretches and compresses while resisting puncture and tear, and it enables optical detection of pressure and lateral strain. Morphology‐based decoupling of strain and pressure paves the way to sensitive and deformable, yet robust, soft‐robotic

Is the frozen elephant trunk procedure superior to the conventional elephant trunk procedure for completion of the second stage?† [PDF]
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2017 Our goal was to compare the results and outcomes of second-stage completion in patients who had previously undergone the elephant trunk (ET) or the frozen elephant trunk (FET) procedure for the treatment of complex aortic arch and descending aortic disease.Between August 2001 and December 2014, 53 patients [mean age 61 ± 13 years, 64% (n = 34) male ...
