Abstract

Endoluminal repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) requires the aneurysm to have a proximal neck of at least 1.5 cm between the renal arteries and the aneurysm. Therefore, there may be advantages in performing endoluminal repair in the early stages of aneurysm development. However, the results of endoluminal repair performed in patients with small aneurysms with favourable morphology are not known. The aim of this study was to determine whether a randomised trial of endoluminal repair vs. no treatment for small aneurysms would be justified by using a concurrent comparison of endoluminal repair vs. no treatment for AAA 5 cm or less in diameter in patients presenting to the same centre during a 4-year period. Data on 117 patients presenting with AAA 5 cm or less in diameter were entered into a registry. The decision to perform endoluminal repair vs. no treatment was based on the patient's preference following surgical consultation and investigation by computed tomography. This study reports the mortality, morbidity and survival of patients presenting between June 1992 and August 1996. During this time 43 patients had endoluminal repair and 67 patients had no treatment for small AAA. Seven patients were unfit for any intervent...Continue Reading

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
