Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. A review and current status.

J G Selle, F Robicsek, H K Daugherty

    Annals of Surgery
    |February 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Surgical repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms involves two main techniques. The conventional method is recommended for most surgeons due to its step-by-step approach, minimizing organ ischemia.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) present complex surgical challenges.
    • Two primary surgical techniques exist: the conventional method and the Crawford technique.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the conventional and Crawford techniques for TAAA repair.
    • To discuss successful management strategies and potential complications like paraplegia.

    Main Methods:

    • Conventional technique: Step-by-step graft replacement and organ revascularization.
    • Crawford technique: Rapid graft replacement with simultaneous revascularization, leading to prolonged organ ischemia.
    • Case review of two extensive TAAA repairs.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Conventional method allows for meticulous planning and limited individual organ ischemic times.
  • Crawford technique reduces total operating time but increases overall organ ischemia.
  • Successful outcomes were achieved in two complex TAAA cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • The conventional surgical technique is recommended for surgeons with limited experience in TAAA repair.
    • Additional measures can improve outcomes in complex cases.
    • Potential for paraplegia remains a critical consideration in TAAA surgery.
