Résumé

The frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique is increasingly used for the treatment of acute and chronic aortic arch disease. This study reports our single center experience with the FET technique in patients with complex aortic disease. Between 2009 and 2019, 111 consecutive patients underwent aortic arch surgery in our institution using the FET technique for acute type A dissection (AAD group; n=75) or non-acute type A dissection (non-AAD group; n=36; 10 patients with chronic type A dissection; 26 patients with aneurysm), respectively. Relevant perioperative data, including 30-day mortality and neurological complications, were retrospectively obtained from our electronic patient's records, including follow-up (FU) data of outpatient clinical visits and computed tomography (CT). Thirty-day mortality in the entire FET cohort was 16.2% (AAD 18.7% Our single-center experience confirms good early and mid-term survival after the FET procedure in patients presenting with AAD, CAD and aneurysm. Future efforts should focus on reduction of severe neurological complication.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
The frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique is increasingly used for the treatment of acute and chronic aortic arch disease. This study reports our single center experience with the FET technique in patients with complex aortic disease.
METHODS METHODS
Between 2009 and 2019, 111 consecutive patients underwent aortic arch surgery in our institution using the FET technique for acute type A dissection (AAD group; n=75) or non-acute type A dissection (non-AAD group; n=36; 10 patients with chronic type A dissection; 26 patients with aneurysm), respectively. Relevant perioperative data, including 30-day mortality and neurological complications, were retrospectively obtained from our electronic patient's records, including follow-up (FU) data of outpatient clinical visits and computed tomography (CT).
RESULTS RESULTS
Thirty-day mortality in the entire FET cohort was 16.2% (AAD 18.7%
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Our single-center experience confirms good early and mid-term survival after the FET procedure in patients presenting with AAD, CAD and aneurysm. Future efforts should focus on reduction of severe neurological complication.
