title: Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms repair under abdominal cavity cooling with visceral shunting technique--a case report.
abstract: Mild hypothermia induced by abdominal cavity cooling together with a selective visceral shunting technique can be a useful adjunct for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. The authors adopted this combined technique for repair of selected Crawford type III and type IV aneurysms to reduce visceral ischemic damage and minimize the incidence of postoperative complications.
