Abstract

To measure infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms and assess the implications and potential obstacles for placement of an endovascular aortic graft undergoing clinical testing in Europe. Helical computed tomography was used to measure 77 infrarenal aortic aneurysms (77 patients) and the distances between the aneurysms and the renal arteries and the aortic bifurcation. Mean length of the aneurysms was 8.2 cm; mean distance to the renal arteries, 2.7 cm; mean aortic diameter 1.5 cm distal to the renal arteries, 1.9 cm; and mean minimal diameter of perfused lumen, 2.5 cm. Thirteen aneurysms extended into the common iliac artery; 40 reached the bifurcation. The mean minimal luminal diameter of the iliac artery was 1.1 cm. Sufficient nonaneurysmal segments below the renal arteries and distal to the aneurysms are necessary for stent fixation. The large diameter of the delivery introducer in relation to the iliac arteries may be a major obstacle to graft delivery. At best, 33 patients could have benefited from use of the graft evaluated.

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.

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.

Aneurysm

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