Background The goal of this study was to determine the clinical outcomes of total arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk surgery and hybrid debranching surgery for acute type A aortic dissection patients. Methods From January 2017 to December 2019, the clinical data of acute type A aortic dissection patients were retrospectively collected and ...

Total arch replacement (TAR) using an endovascular approach has been initially introduced as the frozen elephant trunk technique (FET). In our institute, TAR using the FET with Frozenix has been used as the first-line treatment for distal aortic arch aneurysms since 2014. This study aimed to evaluate the early and long-term outcomes and demonstrate...

Although a tear-oriented strategy has contributed to improving short-term surgical outcomes of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), long-term clinical influences of residual entry tear in the downstream aorta have not been fully investigated. The goal of this study was to assess the long-term surgical outcomes of ATAAD with or without a residual...

The increasing use of total arch replacement and frozen elephant trunk (FET) is expected to lead to an increase in the prevalence of graft infections requiring replacement involving an FET, which is generally a more invasive procedure than the initial surgery. Herein, we describe a novel method for FET removal using a polyvinyl tube as the storage ...

Background Open surgery for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm is highly invasive. Staged repair for extensive TAAA is effective because it has low morbidity and mortality, and preserves spinal cord perfusion. An initial total arch replacement can create a proximal landing zone for thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair. Case presentation We performed...

The frozen elephant-trunk (FET) procedure is used widely in total aortic arch replacement (TAR) surgery; however, its safety, effectiveness, and long-term outcomes compared with those of the conventional elephant trunk (cET) procedure for degenerative aneurysms are unclear. Between July, 2011 and August, 2019, 126 patients underwent elective total ...

In this review article, the history of the first commercially available thoracic aortic hybrid graft, the E-vita Open, later modified to the blood-impermeable E-vita Open Plus, is reported from its beginning in 2005 until its newest variation, the E-vita Open NEO, European conformity (CE) marked in 2020. Besides the background of its design and cli...
