Early vs. Late Endovascular Extension Following Frozen Elephant Trunk Procedure: Effects on Clinical Outcomes and Aortic Remodeling
Following aortic arch repair using FET, there is still a need for second-stage repair in 16% of patients. Endovascular completion post-FET is safe and feasible with a technical success rate of 100%, but early completion is associated with greater morbidity and mortality. TEVAR extension surgery may be better delayed, if possible, until after recovery from the hybrid arch repair.
