Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Brief name: Effect of the hybryd stent-graft (with or without TEVAR) deployment in the descending aorta.
FET ("frozen elephant trunk") procedure includes open intervention on the aortic arch and simultaneous antegrade implantation of stent graft into the descending aorta under transesophageal ulrasonic control.
All procedures were performed under cardiopulmonary bypass, circulatory arrest with unilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion via innominate artery
Duration of the FET ("frozen elephant trunk procedure") procedure individually in each case.On average, the procedure of reconstruction of the aortic arch and implantation of a stent graft is 60-120 minutes
All procedures were performed by one experienced surgeon (25 years experience)
Armamentarium: E-vita Open Plus graft (Jotec GmbH, Hechingen, Germany),
E-vita thoracic 3G (Jotec GmbH, Hechingen, Germany)
There are 2 groups of patients with aortic dissection (De Bakey I and III types) propagated down to aortic bifurcation:
1st - frozen elephant trunk procedure only (antergade implantation of the hybris stent graft in the descending aorta combined with open aortic arch surgery)
2nd - frozen elephant trunk procedure + TEVAR (down to coeliac trunk). TEVAR is performed during the first 30 days after primary FET
Group division was random.

Comparator / control treatment
Control group: antegrade implantation of the hybrid ctent graft combined with open aortic arch surgery (frozen elephant trunk procedure only).
The stent graft (mean diameter of 22-40 mm and a length of 150 mm ) was inserted into the descending thoracic aorta without a guidewire and in most cases was attached by continuous suturing with 4-0 polypropylene sutures distal to the left subclavian artery. In several cases, the stent graft proximal anastomosis was performed in other zones. Transesophageal echocardiography monitoring was used during the stent graft deployment. After distal anastomosis, a clamp was placed on the aortic prosthesis, systemic blood perfusion was resumed through an additional cannula, which was inserted into the prostheses distal to the clamp, and the patient was gradually rewarmed. Supra-aortic vessel reconstruction was performed in an “en bloc” fashion or separately. The unilateral cerebral perfusion was then discontinued. The proximal aortic anastomosis was then carried out, and the coronary blood flow was restored.
Intervention: In addition to the above, an additional stent graft is implanted into the descending aorta to the level of the celiac trunk, which allows to cover a longer section of the aorta

Summary
Brief summary
The aim of the present study was to study the effect on the frequency of abdominal aortic remodeling and distal reintreations of additional stent graft implantation in the distal part of the descending aorta after the previously implanted hybrid stent graft in the proximal descending aorta. For this purpose, two groups with aortic dissection extending to the bifurcation of the abdominal aorta were estimated comparable by the main clinical parameters. One group included patients who underwent only hybrid reconstruction of the thoracic aorta (open reconstruction of the aortic arch with simultaneous implantation of a hybrid stent graft into the proximal descending aorta). The other group included patients who, in addition to the previous intervention, were implanted with stent graft in the distal part of the descending aorta to the level of the celiac trunk (TEVAR).
