Abstract
The development of new devices to improve treatment and to explore new indications that have not yet been adequately addressed is a natural consequence of the clinical demand for solutions to as yet unmet needs. The frozen elephant trunk technique was one of the major steps within the last 15 years to improve on existing treatments as well as to explore new indications. The goal of this article is to provide technical details about advances in implantation techniques for the treatment of acute and chronic thoracic aortic pathological conditions.Keywords
