title: Video-atlas of open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
abstract: Open surgical repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms has evolved significantly over the last decades thanks to technical improvements, especially in the area of organ protection. However, despite adjunctive strategies, morbidity and mortality rates are still not negligible. Repair of the thoracoabdominal aorta represents a formidable challenge for surgeons, anesthesiologists and patients alike. While operative repair is generally carried out in specialized institutions, knowledge of the state-of-the-art diagnostic, anesthesiologic, surgical and endovascular aspects will certainly be of great value to all physicians involved in the care of these patients at any level. This "How to" video will explain all of these diagnostic, anesthesiologic and surgical aspects in our daily practice.
