In many cases of acute aortic dissection,
the dissection extends beyond the left subclavian artery. Ini
tial aortic repair leaves the downstream aorta untouched. The
residually dissected aorta carries the risk of aneurysm forma
tion requiring secondary intervention. The aim of this study
was to evaluate the outcome of patients undergoing aortic arch
replacement employing the frozen elephant trunk ( FET) tech
nique after surgery for acute dissection.
