Impact of clinical factors and surgical techniques on early outcome of patients treated with frozen elephant trunk technique by using EVITA open stent-graft: results of a multicentre study

TL;DR: In this article, a logistic regression model was created to identify independent predictors of in-hospital mortality and neurological complications, including haemodynamic instability and selective cerebral perfusion time >60 min.
Journal ArticleDOI

Davide Pacini,Konstantinos Tsagakis,Heinz Jakob,Carlos A. Mestres,Alessandro Armaro,Gabriel Weiss,Martin Grabenwöger,Michael A. Borger,Friedrich W. Mohr,Robert S. Bonser,Roberto Di Bartolomeo +10 more
TL;DR: The rate of aortic reoperation with the use of this technique appears to be lower than that with a conventional approach to the repair of chronic AD, using the frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aortoesophageal Fistula After Thoracic Aortic Stent-Graft Placement A Rare but Catastrophic Complication of a Novel Emerging Technique
Holger Eggebrecht,Rajendra H. Mehta,Alexander Dechêne,Konstantinos Tsagakis,Hilmar Kühl,Sebastian Huptas,Guido Gerken,Heinz Jakob,Raimund Erbel +8 more
TL;DR: New-onset fever with elevated inflammatory markers or hematemesis should heighten clinical suspicion of AEF in TEVAR patients and prompt computed tomography or esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy in the hope of detecting, triaging, and treating this early to improve the otherwise dismal outcomes of these patients.
