Temporary axillo-femoral bypass during open repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm: report of a case

Shinya Fukui et al. Surg Today. 2012 Nov.

Abstract

Open repair is the "gold standard" treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and although considered safe, this operation is very invasive for high-risk patients with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) because the left ventricular after-load changes sharply with the clamping and unclamping of the aorta. We prevented the change in left ventricular after-load by establishing a temporary axillo-bilateral femoral arterial shunt, which enabled us to perform open repair of an AAA safely in a patient with severe AS.
