Abstract
The case of a 73-year-old woman with aneurysms of the thoracoabdominal aorta and distal arch, combined with aortic occlusion, is reported. Cannulation from the femoral artery was not possible because of the aortic occlusion. Blood supply to the abdominal viscera and lower extremities was achieved only by selective perfusion from the celiac artery, superior mesenteric artery, and bilateral renal arteries. A unique choice of selective perfusion for distal circulatory support is described.
