Abstract
Anesthetic management of open thoracoabdominal aneurysm (TAAA) repair poses a number of challenges for even the most experienced of cardiovascular anesthesiologists. This procedure encompasses a large number of unique anesthetic techniques, including one-lung ventilation, invasive hemodynamic monitoring, left-heart bypass, massive transfusion, selective renal and visceral perfusion, and central nervous system monitoring with CSF drainage. In this article, we aim to describe the anesthetic management for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair, including preoperative workup, intraoperative management, as well as postoperative concerns in the intensive care unit.
