Abstract

Review of the most significant surveys (data base: Pub Med on September 2003) of elective open surgery for Juxtarenal aneurysms and personal results of 106 cases (9.3% of AAA consecutively operated in the last 11 yrs.) are reported. Mortality and morbidity are discussed related to: technique of aortic cross-clamping; protective measures on splanchnic and renal perfusion; risks from previous CAD and chronic renal failure. Over all, the main predictive factor is the accuracy of the selected technique, without any difference among different approaches, and the same results of infrarenal aneurysms can be obtained.

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.
