Endovascular Treatment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: Two Cases Report

Abstract

The standard management of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is surgical, with graft replacement in the aneurysmatic segment. The treatment of AAA with endoluminal stent-graft prostheses is receiving increasing attention as an alternative method to abdominal surgery. We treated two patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms received bifurcated stent-grafts. In conclusion, endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms with the use of stent-grafts looks like a safe end effective alternative method to conventional surgical technique.

Abdominal Aorta Anevrizmalarında Endovasküler Tedavi: İki Olgu Sunumu

Öz

Abdominal aorta anevrizmasının standart tedavisi anevrizmatik kısıma greft yerleştirilerek yapılan cerrahi işlemdir. Endo-luminal stent-greft protez ile AAA tedavisi, abdominal cerrahiye alternatif bir yöntem olarak giderek daha fazla dikkat çekmektedir. Abdominal aorta anevrizmalı iki hastayı bifurkasyonlu stent-greft yerleştirmek suretiyle tedavi ettik. Sonuç olarak, stent-greft kullanılmak suretiyle AAA tedavisi geleneksel cerrahi tekniğe güvenli ve etkin bir alternatif yöntem gibi görünmektedir.
