Abstract
Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) is a useful adjunct in descending thoracic and thoraco-abdominal aneurysmectomy. We have used it in 237 cases including a variety of indications, the most frequent being type B aortic dissection. This chapter describes our surgical techniques, indications, and results of DHCA for descending thoracic and thoraco-abdominal aneurysmectomy.
