Key Points

  • The aim is to assess the impact of intraluminal thrombosis after frozen elephant trunk procedures on patient outcomes.
  • Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies on intraluminal thrombosis after FET.
  • Included outcomes related to embolic events and early mortality.
  • Evaluated patient demographics and risk factors among included studies.
  • Increased incidence of embolic events associated with intraluminal thrombosis after FET.
  • Higher early mortality rates observed, particularly in women and older individuals.
  • Recommendations for close follow-up and consideration of anticoagulation in at-risk populations.

Abstract

Because ILT after FET seems to be associated with embolic events and early mortality, close follow-up is warranted-especially for women, older people, and patients with aortic aneurysms-and anticoagulation should be considered.
