Does the Viet Duc modification of the frozen elephant trunk technique provide safe and effective outcomes in patients with complex thoracic aortic diseases?
The Viet Duc modification of the frozen elephant trunk technique demonstrates feasibility and safety with an 86.4% 3-year survival rate and no spinal cord ischemia in patients with complex thoracic aortic diseases.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports further evaluation of the Viet Duc modification given observed outcomes; leaves open comparative effectiveness versus standard techniques.
Our modification of the FET technique was feasible, effective, and safe, with good early and intermediate-term outcomes.
