Outcomes of Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest for Descending and Thoracoabdominal Aneurysm Repair

Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) in patients undergoing descending thoracic (DTAA) or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We present our outcomes after open DTAA and TAAA repair with and without DHCA.
