The widespread adoption of the frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique for total arch reconstruction (TAR) in aortic aneurysm and dissection has led to development numerous commercial single-piece FET devices, each with its own unique design features. One such device, Thoraflex™ Hybrid (Terumo Aortic, Glasgow, Scotland), enjoyed use since introduction. We present appraisal long-term clinical efficacy, based on international data.Pre-, intra-, postoperative data associated implantations...

Surgical intervention remains the mainstay treatment for aortic arch aneurysm and dissection, but high mortality morbidity rates have led to a need development of minimally invasive alternatives reconstruction. RELAY™ Branched (Terumo Aortic, Inchinnan, UK) represents viable option complex endovascular repair. We present multi-center data from Europe documenting efficacy endograft in terms its target vessel patency reintervention rates. Prospective collected between January 2019 2022...

While open surgical repair continues to be the mainstay option for aortic arch reconstruction, associated mortality, morbidity, and high turn-down rates have led a need development of minimally invasive options repair. Though RELAY™ Branched (Terumo Aortic, Inchinnan, UK) represents promising complex endovascular repair, neurological complications remain pertinent risk. Herein we seek present multicenter data from Europe documenting outcomes with Branched.Prospective collected between...

Background The high mortality and morbidity rates in surgical aortic arch repair are a barrier to therapy for considerable proportion of patients with aneurysm or dissection. There is hence demand the development adoption minimally invasive alternative repair, such as thoracic endovascular (TEVAR). Procedural duration key factor pathogenesis complications repair. Herein, we evaluate whether impacts neurological outcomes, target vessel patency, reintervention TEVAR RELAY™ Branched (Terumo...

Since the introduction of E-Vita Open NEO aortic prosthesis in 2020, several incidences post-anastomotic oozing from polyester portion graft have emerged. The use BioGlue to prime prevent this has been suggested as a way mitigate worrying complication. We investigate extent and evaluate preventing oozing, both experimentally terms potential clinical complications.E-Vita (in straight branched configurations) was implanted perfused model. distal stent side branches were clamped, pressurized...

Total arch replacement via frozen elephant trunk (FET) is a strategy for managing complex thoracic aortic pathologies involving the and descending aorta (DTA). The FET procedure involves distal anastomosis of hybrid prosthesis at chosen zone. Though has been traditionally performed Zone 3 (Z-3-FET) arch, recent practice seen significant increase in 2 (Z-2-FET). literature concerning independent studies head-to-head comparative suggest that Z-2-FET superior approach, yielding more favourable...

The frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique for total arch replacement (TAR) is widely used repair of aortic dissections and aneurysms. Despite its widespread adoption, there are no international or regional guidelines the sizing FET prostheses in TAR. We seek to highlight heterogeneity thereof pave way evidence-based advise prosthesis TAR.An online questionnaire was sent 22 specialist surgeons from 13 different countries across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, inquiring about each...

There is currently no standard, evidence-based approach for sizing the Thoraflex Hybrid prosthesis in frozen elephant trunk surgery. We present regional data on 906 grafts implanted United Kingdom between December 2012 and August 2021 to emphasize heterogeneity practices evaluate impact this may have clinical outcomes. Highlighting will help develop an sizing, thereby aiding decision-making arch repair.
