  • Title: Combining open and endovascular surgery for the treatment of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm: a case report using a hybrid vascular graft.
    Author: Lin JC, Kolvenbach R, Pinter L.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 2005 May; 41(5):881-4. PubMed ID: 15886674.
    Abstract:
    Migration and endoleaks after endovascular exclusion of an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm may lead to long-term failure of the stent graft. We report a successful case of a novel technique that combined open and endovascular surgery to address the issues of migration and endoleak in the repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The hybrid graft, consisting of a proximal, conventional Dacron graft and two distal endoprosthesis limbs, was designed to reduce aortic cross-clamp time in aortic procedures. This is the first reported clinical experience with this new hybrid vascular graft for the treatment of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
