Non-Surgical Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

KS Chandra et al. J Invasive Cardiol. 1996 Nov.

Abstract

The conventional treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm is surgical replacement with a synthetic graft. Attempts have been made to treat these aneurysms using stent mounted grafts with reasonable success, thus obviating the need for surgery. However, certain problems like thromboembolism and the large profile are yet to be overcome. We report a case of a 75-year-old man where an attempt to repair a symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm was made using an endovascular uncovered ÒwallÓ stent combined with endosaccular coil implantation.
