Internal Temporary Aortic Shunt for Managing Lesions of the Descending Thoracic Aorta

L. Zacharopoulos, M.D., P.N. Symbas, M.D.1

From the Joseph B. Whitehead Department of Surgery, Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Division, Emory University School of Medicine, and the Daniel C. Elkin Surgical Research Laboratory, Atlanta, GA

Accepted for publication February 3, 1982.

An intraaortic shunt was used to maintain distal organ perfusion during experimental descending aortic cross-clamping and graft interposition in the descending aorta. None of the dogs in which this form of shunt was employed developed paraplegia, whereas 60% of the dogs in which no adjunct was used during aortic cross-clamping became paraplegic.
