Bypass of thoracic aorta using axillofemoral shunt.

A left thoracotomy was performed and the thoracic aorta was occluded for 1 hr. in 7 dogs following placement of an 8 mm. right axillary-to-femoral artery shunt. Postop serial blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels showed no significant changes and pathological examination of the kidneys at 2 weeks showed no abnormalities. Neurological deficits were not observed, suggesting that an axillary-to-femoral bypass will maintain adequate perfusion to the lower body during cross-clamping of the thoracic aorta.
