  • Title: Hybrid repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm in a patient with poliomyelitis-related deformities.
    Author: Yang SS.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 2018 Mar; 67(3):945-948. PubMed ID: 29242068.
    Abstract:
    A 63-year-old man presented with an asymptomatic infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. He had scoliosis and atrophic right leg change as sequelae of poliomyelitis. The patient was not a candidate for endovascular aneurysm repair because of anatomic unsuitability. An open surgical repair was performed by the retroperitoneal approach because of severe scoliosis and left lateral aneurysm deviation. To minimize contralateral exposure, the Viabahn stent graft (W. L. Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, Ariz) was inserted in the right external iliac artery and anastomosed with the right expanded polytetrafluoroethylene graft limb. I report the successful hybrid repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm using the modified Viabahn open revascularization technique.
