This paper presents the clinical applications of the Japanese-made frozen elephant trunk
(FET, Frozenix®). The historical aspects of FET development, manufacture and structure of …

Surgical techniques and organ protection strategies for acute type A aortic dissection
(ATAAD) have evolved considerably over the years. Nonetheless, open surgical repair …

Objective We compared perioperative outcomes of patients with acute type A aortic
dissection undergoing hemiarch (HA) versus extended arch (EA) repair with or without …

OBJECTIVES The incidence rate of distal stent graft-induced new entry (d-SINE) after frozen
elephant trunk technique for aortic dissection remains controversial. The aim of this study …

Objective Innumerable surgical techniques are currently deployed for repairing acute type A
aortic dissection (ATAAD). We analyzed our results using a conservative approach of root …

OBJECTIVES The frozen elephant trunk technique is an increasingly common treatment for
extensive disease of the thoracic aorta. The objective of the study was to evaluate the …

Type A acute aortic dissection is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, with
prompt referral imaging and management to tertiary referral centers needed urgently …

Objectives: Distal stent graft-induced new entry (dSINE), defined as a new tear caused by a
stent graft, has been increasingly observed following total arch replacement using frozen …

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the objective outcomes of type II hybrid
arch repair (HAR) and total arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk (TAR with FET) …

Background The optimal treatment strategy for complex aortic arch and proximal descending
aortic pathologies remains controversial. Despite the frozen elephant trunk (FET) …
