First-in-men experience with a novel frozen elephant trunk prosthesis featuring an endovascular side branch for left subclavian artery connection
Preliminary clinical outcomes suggest that the newly designed FET prosthesis shows promise in simplifying total arch replacement. These initial findings provide a foundation for planned clinical studies to further assess the effectiveness of this modified surgical hybrid graft, with particular attention to the length and diameter of the LSA sidearm.
