Cardiopulmonary bypass with hypothermic circulatory arrest can be safely used for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair, providing excellent protection against end-organ injury. Early mortality and morbidity rates do not exceed those reported for endovascular repair, with particularly favorable outcomes among patients undergoing elective operations.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
