Perfusion and visceral organ protection in patients with thoraco-abdominal aneurysm repair – our experiences

Methods We conducted a retrospective observational analysis of our experience with different approaches and perfusion techniques in patients with thoraco-abdominal aneurysm. Group 1: 3 patients: aortic cross-clamp, with left heart bypass, without selective organ perfusion Group 2: 2 patients: aortic cross-clamp, without left heart bypass, selective organ perfusion Group 3: 1 patient: aortic cross-clamp, with left heart bypass, selective organ perfusion Group 4: 2 patients: aortic cross-clamp, without left heart bypass, without selective organ perfusion
