Abstract
Ischemic renal failure and visceral ischemia are two serious complications of the surgery for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. The introduction of left atrial bypass, partial bypass, total circulatory arrest, and selective visceral perfusion has reduced the incidence of these complications over the past two decades. Yet these complications still persist, suggesting the sub-optimal nature of the available strategies.
