Outcomes of hand-made versus commercial stent grafts in frozen elephant trunk
FROZENIX device notably reduced incidences of postoperative complications compared to hand-made prostheses. Factors such as insertion angle and stent size, rather than changes in the landing zone angle, appeared to influence aneurysm shrinkage. The use of FROZENIX in TARFET procedures has shown benefits in reducing complications and improving long-term prognosis, taking into account the landing zone angle.
