  2. BACKGROUND Different surgical and hybrid procedures are available to treat patients with extensive disease of the thoracic aorta. No comparative studies exist comparing short- and mid-term outcomes after extensive aneurysm repair using the Conventional Elephant Trunk (ET) and the Frozen Elephant Trunk (FET) procedures. Here we report our experience

  3. STUDY POPULATION Exclusioncriteria: aortic dissection descending thoracic aorta < 40 mm thoraco-abdominal aneurysm method of brain protection other then antegradeselective brain perfusion

  4. Log Rank= 0.816

  5. CONCLUSION In patients with extensive aneurysms of the thoracic aorta ET and FET procedures were associated with similar satisfactory short- and mid-term outcomes. Longer-term follow up are warranted
