Surgical treatment of thoracic aneurysm in a hemodialysis-dependent patient: a case report

Angiology. 1978 Dec;29(12):921-4. doi: 10.1177/000331977802901208.

Abstract

A 53-year-old woman who was on hemodialysis underwent the resection of an aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta as well as graft replacement. The operation was performed with the aid of femoro-femoral bypass perfusion and an artificial kidney inserted on the venous side of bypass line. Although the perfusion time was short, the uremic metabolic substance was efficiently removed, resulting in easy management after surgery.
