Total laparoscopic aortic aneurysm surgery

Acta chirurgica Belgica
R Kolvenbach

Abstract

This paper describes our technique and results with total laparoscopic aortic aneurysm repair. A transperitoneal left retrorenal access was used in all cases. Special laparoscopic clamps often in combination with balloon catheters were used to occlude the aorta and the renal arteries. Exactly the same techniques like in open surgery were used. Either a tube graft or a bifurcated graft,anastomosed with the iliac arteries or the femoral arteries, was implanted to exclude the aneurysm. Laparoscopic surgery is becoming a third way to perform aortic aneurysm repair. In contrast to EVAR it can offer to aneurysm patients the same definitive outcome which we obtain in open surgery.

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.
