Abstract
The repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) require a range of
surgical techniques and is associated with serious complications such as
paraplegia, gastrointestinal complications and acute kidney injury. In
this report, we present a case of successful giant TAAA repair. Repair
was performed from proximal to distal by sequential aortic cross
clamp-and-sew under normothermia in this case. To prevent visceral,
renal and spinal cord ischemia, organ protection was supplemented with
cerebrospinal fluid drainage, renal perfusion and selective visceral
perfusion in this case.
