Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: In this report, we present our experience with nonresective repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm in selected patients who were unsuited for other surgical approaches and would benefit from repair.
METHODS: Seven patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm underwent nonresective repair comprising aneurysm embolization followed by the creation of an axillary-femoral, femoral-femoral bypass with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft.
RESULTS: Between April 2006 and March 2009, seven patients (mean age: 85 years) underwent surgery. Of these, four (57%) are currently alive and healthy, with a mean follow-up of 15.7 months, the remaining three died.
CONCLUSION: Nonresection may be used as an alternative surgical treatment in certain high-risk patients.
