Abstract/OtherAbstract:
When acute thrombosis of the abdominal aorta occurs in a comatose patient, direct examination of the intraabdominal organs becomes mandatory. Once a laparotomy has been performed, media calcinosis of the infrarenal aorta is a contraindication to its use as an inflow source. We describe a technique for exposing the thoracic aorta through the abdomen, which obviates the need for a thoracoabdominal incision in such critically ill patients.
