Descending Aorta Finger Clamping to Control Intra-Abdominal Bleeding Due to Rupture of Anterior Superior Pancreaticoduodenal Artery Aneurysm

Review Data

Purpose and Significance of Study: This case report involves the rupture of the anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm in an elderly patient. Although the procedure to encircle the descending aorta to secure cross-clamping is technically demanding for general surgeons, especially in emergency situations, this case demonstrates that descending aorta finger clamping via a resuscitative left thoracotomy is easy and feasible, and might be an effective procedure to maintain adequate blood pressure for general surgeons.

Fit with Scope of Journal: The manuscript is of very high interest for the journal Surgical Case Reports.

The manuscript is well-written. A few very minor changes (already corrected in the galley proof) are required in the text, which are listed below –

 

In the Abstract –

  Under Case Presentation –

·       In the 3^rd sentence, “,” after “slipped off” must be removed.

In the Introduction –

·       In the 3^rd sentence, “of the” must be removed as it is repeated.

In the Case Presentation –

  In the 1^st paragraph –

·       In the last sentence, “the” must be inserted before “transition”.

In the Discussion –

  In the 2^nd paragraph –

·       In the last sentence, “thoracic descending” must be replaced with “descending thoracic”.

  In the last paragraph –

·       In the 3^rd sentence, “dropped” and “taped” are misspelled.

·       In the 4^th sentence, “,” after “clamping” must be removed.

·       In the last sentence, “,” after “blood pressure” must be removed, and “,” must be inserted after “useful”.
