Results. The IOL rate was 4.5% for proximal anastomoses, 8% for distal anastomoses, and 7% of total anastomoses. The POL rate was 3% of anastomosis. There were no other testing methods employed.

In two patients, the suprarenal aortic segment was clamped, and thromboendarterectomy of the juxtarenal aorta was performed prior to completing the proximal anastomosis.
