Why the study?
The medium-term efficacy of hybrid intervention using the frozen elephant trunk procedure in patients operated on for thoracic aortic dissection required evaluation.

The 'frozen elephant trunk' technique provides satisfactory medium-term survival and freedom from reintervention in patients with thoracic aortic dissection.
Козлов et al. (2019) conducted a cohort in Stanford type A and B thoracic aortic dissections (n=44). 'frozen elephant trunk' procedure was evaluated on Thirty-day mortality. The 'frozen elephant trunk' procedure for thoracic aortic dissection demonstrated a 30-day mortality of 6.8% and 5-year survival of 100% for acute type A and 62.2% for acute type B dissection.
