OPERATIVE RESULTS FOR THORACIC ANEURYSMS
Forty-eight patients with thoracic aneurysm were operated on in our Department from 1963 to 1977. The results of the operation during the first half, between 1963 and 1970, and during the second half, between 1971 and 1977, were compared in the method of assisted circulation, the material of prosthesis, the cause of death and the age of patients who died early after the operation. Operative mortality in the cases with the aneurysm of the ascending aorta, the aortic arch and the descending aorta during the second half, was 38.5, 0 and 12.5%, respectively. Causes of the better result in the second half might be the separated extracorporeal circulation, the left heart bypass, in the cases of aortic arch aneurysm and low porous woven cooley graft in the cases using the large dosis of heparin.
