[Transdiaphragmatic clamping of the thoracic aorta for emergency surgery of the abdominal aorta (author's transl)].
The authors describe a very fast surgical technique which consists of clamping the lower thoracic aorta through the diaphragmatic opening without sectioning the pillars. The technique is mainly used as an emergency haemostatic measure when rupture of dissection of an aneurysm of the abdominal aorta is discovered during surgery.
