  • Title: [Endovascular infrarenal surgery of abdominal aortic aneurysm in selected patients: 3-years outcome and complication management].
    Author: Schumacher H, Richter M, Eckstein HH, Allenberg JR.
    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir Suppl Kongressbd; 1998; 115():1230-3. PubMed ID: 9931844.
    Abstract:
    We report a over 3-year single center experience with five different self-expanding or ballon-expandable stent-graft devices used for aneurysm exclusion in the infrarental aorta. All devices appeared to offer a safe, efficacious, and minimally invasive means of excluding the aneurysms from circulation. Key to success is restrictive patient selection due to morphological criteria and improvements in surgical techniques and equipment to reduce the incidence of complications and endoleaks. At the moment, patients who opt for the endovascular method of repair should be aware that the minimally invasive technique carries the disadvantage of a higher failure rate compared to open surgery. Long-term results are required to establish selection criteria, especially for younger patients.
