Endovascular grafting for abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Despite the initial success of endovascular grafts in a very difficult patient population, many problems remain. These procedures are often time-consuming and quite complicated, requiring the close cooperation of an experienced team of vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists. Access may be difficult through occluded, stenotic, and tortuous vessels. Inadequate graft deployment may resu...
متن کامل[Endovascular treatment of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms].
Currently, two treatment options for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are available: conventional open surgical repair and endovascular minimally invasive repair. Open repair carries a significant morbidity and mortality rate, most probably due to the combined effects of general anaesthesia and surgical exposure. Based on anatomical characteristics as assessed by CT scan, approximately...
متن کاملEndovascular Repair of Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are catastrophic events with dismal outcomes. Even in the modern era, the overall mortality rate reaches 90%. Most ruptured aneurysms worldwide are repaired by conventional open surgery with a high operative mortality despite major medical advancements in diagnostic imaging and intensive care delivery. Over the past two decades, the in-hospital mortali...
متن کاملEndovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
In September 1999, the Food and Drug Administration approved two devices for the endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms. The endografts are placed from within the arteries using fluoroscopic guidance. The minimally invasive technique is performed using bilateral femoral artery cut-downs and has significant advantages over open surgical repair, including a reduction in morbidity, hosp...
متن کاملAbdominal Aortic Aneurysms: A New Endovascular Approach
A n abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) consists of a localized dilation of the aorta, with an increase in diameter of at least 50%.1 Most AAAs are located in the infrarenal region. Their prevalence has increased 300% in the past 30 years (between 3% and 6% in men over 65 years of age and 10% in men over 70). The increased prevalence of this condition and the aging population have elevated the cost...
