Proximalization of the distal anastomosis in frozen elephant trunk surgeryCentral MessagePerspective

Background: The frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique is frequently used in aortic arch diseases. Proximalization of the distal anastomosis from zone 3 to zone 2 results in shorter distal ischemia times and improved outcomes. This study assessed the impact of performing distal anastomoses progressiv...
