Separate revascularization of the visceral arteries in thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair

T P Carrel et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 1999 Aug.

Abstract

We successfully repaired a ruptured aortic patch containing the visceral arteries after thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair in a young patient with Marfan syndrome. This unexpected and tricky situation was treated by separate revascularization of each visceral artery using small-caliber prosthetic grafts as interposition between the aortic prosthesis and the ostia of the visceral arteries.
