Moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest with antegrade cerebral perfusion for the open repair of juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair with shaggy aorta

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Shaggy aorta is severe luminal surface degeneration of the aorta leading to an increased risk of plaque destabilization and embolization to the peripheral or visceral vessel beds. It represents a challenging clinical entity for both endovascular and open repair owing to potential atheroembolization, increased early morbidity and mortality, and poor long-term survival. Patients may be denied repair owing to its high risks. Herein, we present a novel approach to open repair of a juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm with shaggy aorta using moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest with antegrade cerebral perfusion and concurrent flow modification to mitigate the risk of atheroma embolism.
