For many patients, surgery offers a pathway to relief, particularly when other treatments, such as medication, have been ineffective. This article explores common questions about surgical treatment for thoracic endometriosis to help you make informed decisions.

Aortic arch repair: What is the frozen elephant trunk repair procedure?

The frozen elephant trunk (FET) repair is a surgical technique used to treat complex diseases of the aortic arch, the part of the heart’s aorta that assists in the distribution of blood to the head and upper extremities, and descending thoracic aorta. These diseases include aneurysms, dissections or other severe aortic pathologies. It combines both open and endovascular (minimally invasive) approaches into one operation, enabling the treatment of two parts of the aorta during the same procedure.
