Abstract

Nineteen patients of Thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm were operated during a nine year period. All were larger than 10 cm. in size. Four were operated in emergency. Seven underwent patch aortoplasty while eleven required tube inlay aortoplasty with visceral vessel reimplantation. One patient continued to be paraplegic postoperatively. Two (10.52%) had acute renal failure and there were two (10.52%) deaths. A sincere effort to keep the aortic and renal occlusion times to minimum and successful reimplantation of lower intercoastals and visceral branches appear to offer significant help in accomplishing successful repair with justifiable expectancy.
