Why the study?
Do clinical factors and surgical techniques impact early mortality and neurological complications in patients treated with the frozen elephant trunk technique using EVITA open stent-graft?

Faster arch replacement and controlled FET placement, along with a two-staged approach for distal lesions, are recommended to reduce early mortality and neurological complications in FET surgery.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May inform FET technique optimization to potentially lower risks; leaves open need for prospective trials before practice change.
Techniques for faster arch replacement and controlled FET placement should be considered in order to reduce the early mortality and neurological complications after FET surgery. For distal aortic lesions, a two-staged approach is suggested, rather than the FET landing lower than T10.
