  • Title: Simultaneous treatment of thoracic and infrarenal aortic aneurysm using a combination of conventional surgery and endoluminal stent grafting.
    Author: Cohnert TU, Chavan A, Wahlers T, Oelert F, Karck M, Galanski M, Haverich A.
    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Surg; 2000 Jan; 385(1):27-30. PubMed ID: 10664116.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Patients with multiple aortic aneurysms represent a small subgroup with the need for extensive surgical treatment at considerable risk. Endovascular treatment in combination with conventional operation is possible. We demonstrate a case with simultaneous exclusion of aneurysms of the descending thoracic and the infrarenal aorta to outline the technical obligations. CONCLUSION: Simultaneous exclusion of a thoracic and an abdominal aneurysm can be performed successfully by conventional infrarenal aortic replacement with bifurcated dacron prosthesis and endovascular implantation of a thoracic stent-graft within one operation.
