Hybrid prosthesis in frozen elephant trunk procedures for hereditary thoracic aortic diseases: a 14-year single-aortic center experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a lack of data regarding the use of hybrid stent graft prostheses in patients with hereditary thoracic aortic disease (HTAD) involving the aortic arch and proximal descending aorta. This retrospective analysis aimed to evaluate the short- and mid-term outcomes of hybrid stent-graft prostheses in Frozen Elephant Trunk (FET) procedures for patients with HTAD, with a particular focus on its safety and feasibility.

Methods

A total 280 patients who underwent FET procedures between October 2010 and November 2024 were retrospectively analysed in compliance with the 2024 EACTS/ STS recommendations for shared decision-making within the multidisciplinary aortic team. Among them, 51 patients had genetically confirmed HTAD (Marfan syndrome (FBN1), Loeys-Dietz syndrom
