Abstract

A minimally invasive vascular surgery (MIVS) technique for repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with iliac involvement was evaluated, and its outcome was compared with conventional open repair. Twenty patients with AAA with iliac involvement underwent treatment with bifurcated graft replacement with the MIVS technique. The procedure was performed via minilaparotomy, with the incision length determined according to the extent of the AAA obtained with ultrasound scanning and with the small intestine confined completely within the abdominal cavity. The proximal and distal operating fields were obtained with changing the patient position and arranging for the abdominal incision to be retracted cephalad and caudad. Perioperative courses in these 20 patients (the MIVS group) were analyzed in comparison with 14 patients who underwent conventional open repair, which was performed through the full midline laparotomy with the intestine simply covered with moistened towels (the conventional group). The MIVS technique for AAA repair was performed with a mean abdominal incision length of 8.4 cm and a range from 6.5 to 11.2 cm. The patients in the MIVS group showed earlier resumption of oral intake and ambulation in compariso...Continue Reading

Aneurysm

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

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.
