Total aortic arch repair: risk factor analysis and follow-up in 199 patients [AORTIC SURGERY]

CONCLUSIONS Aortic arch repair remains a high-risk procedure, especially in multisegment aortic disease. Several peri- and postoperative factors predicted adverse outcome, indicating the need to further improve perioperative management (e.g. organ protection). Indications for FET treatment have to be thoroughly investigated (e.g. FET in CDs).
