TREATMENTS AND PROBLEMS IN CASES OF HIGH AORTIC OCCLUSION

Abstract

Our experience with 10 cases of high aortic occlusion including 2 cases in an emergency phase during a recent 14-year period (1981-1995) are reviewed. Five cases including 1 case in an emergency phase were operated on in a fasion of anatomical bypass, and other 5 cases including 1 case in an emergency phase in a fasion of extra-anatomical bypass. Two cases in an emergency phase were lost in vain due to myonephropathic metabolic syndrome (MNMS).
We discussed the patient's habitus, pre-operative, post-operative complications, changes in the renal function, operative procedures, and prognosis. Clinical signs seen in the two cases in an emergency phase are also presented.
