Conclusions
In conclusion, FET procedure using the E-vita Open hybrid prosthesis is safe and the treatment of choice in complex thoracic aorta disease involving the aortic arch. It makes feasible a single stage correction when the disease does not extend beyond the proximal descending thoracic aorta. Furthermore, it also promotes false lumen thrombosis in aortic dissections and facilitates subsequent procedures on the distal aorta by endovascular, open or hybrid approaches.
