Abstract

In patients with a juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm the unaltered segment is frequently insufficient to secure adequate proximal fixation of the stent graft or is entirely absent, thus making it problematic to exclude the aneurysm from the blood flow by means of classic endoprosthetic repair. For this reason, in order to preserve the blood flow through visceral and renal arteries fenestrated endoprostheses are used as alternative minimally invasive treatment policy. Described herein is the first in the Russian Federation clinical case of using a fenestrated endovascular graft for treatment of a juxtarenal aortic aneurysm. Our patient had high surgical risk due to severe concomitant pathology and was therefore subjected to implantation of a fenestrated endoprosthesis with the preservation of the blood flow through the superior mesenteric artery and both renal arteries. The operation was successful with the complete exclusion of the aneurysm from the blood flow. The first and subsequent controls in the postoperative period showed an adequate position of the endoprosthesis and normal blood flow through the visceral branches.

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.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.
