Abstract

The first clinical implantation of the "Essen I prosthesis" took place in 2005, which was then followed by E-Vita open plus. With further advancements E-Vita Neo and E-Novia was introduced. These devices enable the surgeons to perform frozen elephant trunk in zone 0/1 which eventually reduce the incidence of paraplegia, recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy and proximalization of supraaortic arch vessels. E-vita open plus and successors alleviate frozen elephant trunk operations rendering more stable results in promoting positive remodelling of the distal aorta.

Keywords: aortic aneurysm; aortic arch; aortic dissection; frozen elephant trunk; vascular prosthesis.
