[The past, the present and the future of patient protection during thoracoabdominal aneurism surgery].
The conventional methods of spinal cord and viscera protection are far from being perfect and do not guarantee safety. 5.9% of patients with chronic thoracoabdominal aortic aneurism and 11.4% with dissecting aortic aneurism experience tetraparesis after reconstructive operations. Nowadays surgery of aorta should not be performed <<without perfusion>> even when surgical manual skills are perfect. The method of left atrial-femoral shunting should be used more often, whereas indications for the deep hypothermia with circulatory arrest should be stricter. The combination of left atrial-femoral shunting and selective cold crystalloid renal arterial perfusion is strongly believed in.
