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.
