The treatment of acute or chronic aortic pathologies involving the aortic arch frequently requires a 2-stage treatment approach. Sometimes, a tertiary procedure is needed to fix the entire aortic pathology. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair completion following FET requires careful planning to achieve the excellent clinical outcomes that we and numerous other aortic centers have shown. Only a dedicated aortic clinic provides the long-term continuous follow-up required to identify the few patients in need of a tertiary procedure.
