Abstract

Studies of 40 patients with aneurysms of the abdominal aorta, treated surgically, and 152 cadavers of adult persons enabled to state that atherosclerotic aneurysm of the abdominal aorta in vast majority of patients (in 38 of 40) affects its lower portion and is located at the level of the IIId -- Vth lumbar vertebrae. Also, there were found different variants of the anatomical structure of renal arteries and their relationship with the abdominal aorta aneurysms. It is the authors' opinion that a surgeon should be aware of this fact, while acoomplishing surgical procedures, and carefully estimate the value of an accessory vessel in the kidney blood supply, and also reimplant it in the allograft, if possible. It is believed, that if preservation of the mentioned arteries proved to be unfeasible, then either radical operation should be cancelled or the problem should be solved as to the need or rationality of radical operation simultaneously with nephrectomy in unilateral multitude of renal arteries.

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.

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.
