Results of the use of the TDMAC-heparin shung in the surgery of aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta. 1977

G H Lawrence, and E A Hessel, and L R Sauvage, and A H Krause

Results in 23 patients operated upon for the repair of aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta with a TDMAC-heparin-bonded shunt are reported. The results with particular reference to paraplegia are compared with those in 365 patients operated upon by members of The Samson Thoracic Surgical Society utilizing this and other techniques. No technique completely prevented paraplegia.
