Thoracic endovascular aortic repair completion following frozen elephant trunk: how it’s done and device selection
Abstract: Introduction
Since its introduction in the mid-1990s the frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique has quickly evolved into an effective hybrid treatment option for patients with various thoracic aortic pathologies, acute and chronic. However, a notable incidence of and risk for distal aortic reinterventions persists after the implementation of the FET device. In this review, the authors analyze the indications and outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair completion following FET.
Areas covered
For this review, we looked not only at our own data but also searched PubMed for relevant studies, comments, and current recommendations of the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) and the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS). Additionally, we outline our approach in this 2-stage-treatment plan.
Expert opinion
The treatment of acute or chronic aortic pathologies involving the aortic arch frequently requires a 2-stage treatment approach. Sometimes, a tertiary procedure is needed to fix the entire aortic pathology. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair completion following FET requires careful planning to achieve the excellent clinical outcomes that we and numerous other aortic centers have shown. Only a dedicated aortic clinic provides the long-term continuous follow-up required to identify the few patients in need of a tertiary procedure
