S Westaby1, A J Parry, P Lamont, C Grebenik.   

Abstract

The thromboexclusion technique was used to treat a massive thoracic aneurysm in a Jehovah's witness. Preoperative erythropoietin therapy was used. At operation a Hemashield graft was used to bypass the aneurysm before the mouth was stapled closed. The hemoglobin level fell from 13.5 to 10.6 g/dL.
