- Title
Decreasing the Risk of Aortic Arch Replacement.
- Authors
Scheld, H. H.; Görlach, G.; Boldt, J.; Dapper, F.; Moosdorf, R.
- Abstract
Eight patients underwent surgical therapy because of acute dissection of the aortic arch. In all cases surgery was performed using hypothermic circulatory arrest. Seven patients survived without neurologic deficiency. Postoperative angiography confirmed the complete resection of the diseased part of the aorta. This method of operative treatment allows inspection of the operative field without disturbance by blood flow and establishes adequate cerebral protection. By using presealed prostheses, application of fibrin glue, and auto-transfusion, the authors were able to limit the risk of bleeding, which is the leading cause of death in surgery of acute aortic dissection.
