    Abstract Purpose: To report a case who required a thoracic endovascular stenting (TEVAR) following the deployment of frozen elephant trunk due to false lumen expansion.
    Case report: A 47 years old male patient undergone emergency repair of acute type A aortic dissection in 2011 with bioprosthetic aortic root conduit. Seven years later he presented with moderate aortic valve disease and expanding chronic dissection of the aortic arch, therefore a redo operation with replacement of the prosthetic aortic valve, ascending aorta, total arch and deployment of frozen elephant trunk and he was discharged in good health. Several days post discharge he presented with new onset of chest pain and a new dissection involved the thoracoabdominal aorta was noted pressing on the true lumen and the frozen elephant trunk. Following a multi-disciplinary team meeting, TEVAR was deemed as a most appropriate approach and this was achieved successfully, and patient was discharged. At 1 year of follow up, he remains well and asymptomatic.
    Conclusion: Close imaging follow-up following deployment of a FET is mandatory. A new acute Type B aortic dissection distal to the FET, that causes false lumen propagation parallel to the stented portion, is a surgical emergency and further intervention mandated.

    Abstract Background: Frozen elephant trunk (FET) enables treatment of arch and proximal descending thoracic aorta aneurysms. In treating patients with single-stage FET, the relationship of distal stent size to endoleak and reintervention has remained unexamined.
    Methods: In this retrospective analysis of 63 cases in which FET was used to repair aneurysms between 2008 and 2019, 36 were intended as single-stage procedures. Effective sizing and sealing of distal stents were analyzed by preoperative and postoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA).
    Results: During a mean of 25.8 ± 5.7 months of CTA follow-up, 10 of 36 (28%) experienced endoleak, and 3 of 36 (8%) had sac expansion. Ultimately, 5 of 13 (38%) underwent thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair. Patients without endoleak or sac expansion were more likely to have stents with >10% oversize and a >30-mm seal in healthy aorta compared with those experiencing these complications (11 of 23 vs 0 of 13;
    Conclusions: We recommend >10% distal stent oversize and >30-mm sealing length to minimize endoleak and reintervention. Increasing multidisciplinary collaboration with endovascular surgeons will improve distal stent planning.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the technical success, feasibility, and outcomes of endovascular preservation of segmental arteries (SAs) during fenestrated/branched endovascular aortic repair (F/B-EVAR).
    Materials and methods: A multicenter, retrospective study was conducted in consecutive patients treated with F/B-EVAR and a branch or fenestration for SA preservation. Eleven patients (median age, 57 years; range, 45-73 years; 7 men) were included.
    Results: Twelve SAs were preserved. Stent grafts were custom made with fenestrations, branches, or a combination of both in 1, 2, and 5 patients, respectively. A t-Branch stent graft was used in 2 patients, and a physician-modified thoracic stent graft with a branch was used in 1 patient. Eight branches and 4 fenestrations were used for the preservation of 12 SAs. Four fenestrations and 1 branch for the SAs were not bridged and were left for perfusion of the corresponding SAs. Technical success was achieved in 10 of 11 (91%) patients. No early mortality occurred. Early morbidities included renal insufficiency without dialysis in 1 patient and partially delayed paraplegia in 1 patient. Before discharge, computed tomography angiography (CTA) showed patency of all the SAs. The median follow-up duration was 30 months (range, 10-88 months). Late death occurred in 1 patient. Two SAs were occluded in 1 patient with 2 unstented fenestrations, as determined using 1-year follow-up CTA. This patient did not develop spinal cord ischemia (SCI). Other SAs remained patent during follow-up. One patient with a type IIIc endoleak was treated by relining of bridging stents.
    Conclusions: Endovascular preservation of SAs with F/B-EVAR for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm is feasible and safe in select patients and may add to preventive measures for SCI.
