How Would I Treat My Own Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm: Perioperative Considerations From the Anesthesiologist Perspective
A thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) can be potentially life-threatening due to its associated risk of rupture. Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair, performed as endovascular repair and/or open surgery, is the recommended therapy of choice. Hemodynamic instability, severe blood loss, and spinal cord or cerebral ischemia are some potential hazards the perioperative team has to face during these procedures. Therefore, preoperative risk assessment and intraoperative anesthesia management addressing these potential hazards are essential to improving patients ’ outcomes.
