Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Twenty-eight patients were treated for acute blunt thoracic aortic rupture at Groote Schuur Hospital between January 1984 and March 1994. Aortic arch ruptures occurred in 2 patients and were successfully repaired by means of hypothermic circulatory arrest. Descending aortic ruptures were repaired more safely by insertion of an interposition graft as opposed to direct suture reapproximation, and with the aid of partial heparinless bypass as opposed to simple aortic cross-clamping. |
