[Summary of 42 patients with acute aortic occlusion].
OBJECTIVE
To summarize the experience of diagnosis and treatment in 42 patients with acute aortic occlusion.


METHODS
Clinic data were analyzed. The emergency surgery of retrograde catheter thrombolectomy of transaortic thromboembolism were done, and the propathy and complications were treated simultaneously.


RESULTS
Normal blood flow were restored just after operation. Four patients died of myonephropathic metabolic syndrome and heart failure. 38 patients were followed up for 0.5 to 4 years. Among them, 36 were followed for more than 1 year. A better effectiveness was achieved in 28 patients. Two patients died of recurrence accompanied with heart failure.


CONCLUSIONS
Early diagnosis and treatment may increase the curative ratio and decrease the mortality in patients with acute aortic occlusion.
