Total aortic arch replacement using elephant trunk or frozen elephant trunk technique: a case-control matching study.

Conclusion: In regard to the short- and mid-term outcome, there were only slight differences between both techniques. In patients with extensive aneurysmal aortic disease, conventional ET and FET procedures seem to be associated with acceptable satisfactory mid-term outcome. PMID: 30622791 [PubMed]
