Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms are one of the most challenging surgeries for the anaesthetists. They account for 10% of aneurysms of the aorta. A thorough understanding of pathophysiology, anatomy, and surgical interventions including extracorporeal circulation are essential to achieve a good outcome. Crawford classified them accorting to their their extent and location in 4 types. Patients with Crawford type II aneurysms are at greatest risk for paraplegia and renal failure from ischemia to the spinal cord and kidneys during cross-clamp. Neurologic and renal complications are significant for the most extensive forms of aneurysms. Mortality has improved over time as a consequence of either increased surgical experience, the adoption of a protocolized strategy for repair, or secular improvements in anaesthetic and intensive care treatment. Long-term survival after elective TAAA repair is excellent. |
