    Abstract:
    A total of 168 patients with aneurysms of the abdominal aorta and of its branches were examined, 117 of them were operated on. The leading method of surgery for abdominal aorta aneurysms consists in a resection of the aneurysm and its subsequent prosthetic repair. The choice of the operative technique for the aneurysms of the visceral branches and renal arteries depends on the localization and size of the aneurysm, on the importance of the diseased vessel in the blood supply to the digestive organs, as well as the organ which blood supply is impaired. The improvement of the operative technique and of the postoperative care of patients with abdominal aorta aneurysms helped to decrease the number of postoperative complications and the mortality in the recent years. Further improvement of the results of surgery for aneurysms of the abdominal aorta and its branches requires timely hospitalization of such patients in specialized vascular departments and further perfection of the operative technique.
