Complete intercostal artery reimplantation using a method of aneurysmoplasty

We report the case of a 58-year-old woman who underwent repair of a chronic dissecting thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. Using a method of aneurysmoplasty under normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass, all intercostal arteries were quickly reperfused, and the spinal cord ischemic time was minimized. No neurological deficits developed in our patient using this method.
