Frozen Elephant Trunk Procedure

October 24, 2024
This study evaluates the early safety of a new technique called branched stented anastomosis frozen elephant trunk repair (B-SAFER) for treating multisegment thoracic aortic disease, which aims to improve outcomes in high-risk patients undergoing total aortic arch replacement.
October 17, 2024
The long-term benefits of total arch replacement (TAR) versus hemiarch replacement for treating aortic dissection have been debated, with most studies showing no difference in survival rates between the two methods. However, TAR may be more effective in preventing distal aortic events, particularly in patients under 70 years old.
