Occlusion of intercostal and lumbar aortic branches using plastic plugs

HG Borst

Retrograde bleeding from the orifices of intercostal and lumbar arteries during aortic surgery is usually controlled by suture placement, a procedure that is time-consuming and may result in considerable blood loss. We have devised a method of occluding these arteries using polyurethane plugs. We have experienced no instances of perforation or delayed bleeding using this technique.
