  • Title: Reoperations after dacron patch aortoplasty with heparinized femoro-femoral bypass.
    Author: Roth M, Bauer EP, Reuthebuch O, Klövekorn WP.
    Journal: Eur J Cardiothorac Surg; 1997 May; 11(5):997-1000. PubMed ID: 9196322.
    Abstract:
    Dacron patch aortoplasty used to be a standard therapy in some surgical units. Occurrence of aneurysm formation after this procedure is well known. The incidence of aneurysms is reported to be 0-35% with a high risk of lethal rupture. We report three cases of aneurysm repair of the descending thoracic aorta after dacron patch aortoplasty using femoro-femoral extracorporeal system. Heparin-coated system was used primarily to prevent ischemic spinal cord injury through hypotension of the distal aorta and secondarily to reduce the risk of intraoperative hemorrhage.
