Facilitated aortic arch repair with the frozen elephant trunk technique.
The frozen elephant trunk, combining together surgical and endovascular techniques, has been developed to treat patients with extensive disease of the thoracic aorta. In this article, we report three cases in which the frozen elephant trunk could facilitate surgical arch repair and patients' management.

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to analyze midterm results of frozen elephant trunk technique for Marfan syndrome with acute aortic dissection. METHODS Between February 1999 and August 2011 we performed arch replacement uisng frozen elephant trunk technique for acute aortic dissection in 8 patients with Marfan syndrome containing two complicated type B dissections and six type A dissections...
متن کاملAortic arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk-when not to use it.
Current scientific evidence suggests the frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique plays an important role in modern aortic arch repair operations, both for aneurysmal disease and acute aortic dissection. Its use in extended aneurysm is generally therapeutic, aiming for complete exclusion of the diseased descending thoracic aorta. In acute aortic dissection type A, the application of FET is more pr...
متن کاملDistal aortic surgery following arch replacement with a frozen elephant trunk.
OBJECTIVE The frozen elephant trunk technique allows the repair of concomitant aortic arch and proximal descending aortic pathology in a single stage by using a hybrid prosthesis consisting of a vascular graft with a distal stented end. There are patients, however, who will require a second distal operation despite this new technique due to progression of their aortic disease. It has been uncle...
متن کاملFrozen elephant trunk surgery-the Bologna's experience.
BACKGROUND Different approaches are available to treat patients with complex and extensive diseases of the thoracic aorta. This study aims to report and comment on our experience with the frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique. METHODS Between January 2007 and July 2012, 122 patients (male: 86.9%; mean age: 61 years) underwent extensive thoracic aorta surgery using the FET approach with an E-v...
