Summary

This study looks back at medical records of about 350 people who had a specific stent graft placed during a complex aortic surgery called a frozen elephant trunk procedure, used to treat aortic aneurysms or dissections. The goal is to see how often major complications like stroke, paralysis, death, or repeat surgery occur within a year. By gathering real-world data, researchers hope to better understand the safety and performance of this device in everyday practice.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Conformable GORE TAG Thoracic Endoprosthesis (a covered stent graft used during frozen elephant trunk surgery)
What this could lead to: If outcomes are favorable, this could support the safe and effective use of this stent in complex aortic repairs, potentially improving surgical guidance.
What could go wrong: This is a retrospective review, not a controlled trial, so results may be limited by missing data or patient differences. Risks include stroke, paralysis, or need for reoperation.
