Abstract
- Flow reversal and thromboexclusion constitute a valuable alternative for aortic surgeons to have within their technical armamentarium for the treatment of aortic aneurysmal disease. Although not usually a preferred treatment for general aortic pathologies, this technique can be considered as a treatment option in select situations, such as mycotic aneurysm, a hostile surgical field, and a poor condition of the patient. Here, we present a case of extra-anatomic bypass and thromboexclusion for recurrent aortic aneurysm after previous extra-anatomic bypass and thromboexclusion surgery.
