Materials and Methods: Between July 2011 and July 2013, 8 patients underwent endovascular aneurysm repair with local anesthesia and controlled sedation in our department. Local anesthesia was achieved by infiltrating 2% Prilocain and for the sedation was provided by intravenous midazolam 0.05 - 0.2 mg/kg IV, fentanyl 50-150 microgram IV bolus, and propofol 25-75 microgram /kg bolus. Results: Endovascular aneurysm repair was used in six patients infra-renal aortic aneurysm and two patients thoracic aorta aneurysm. No mortality or major post operative morbidity was recorded and the mean hospital stay post procedure was 3.2 days (range 2-5 days). One year follow-up all patient no mortality or recurrence was observed. Conclusion: Endovascular aneurysm repair are safe procedure in critical patient and easily done under local anesthesia and sedation. LA with sedation in this procedure might be an alternative in anesthetic management.  <br> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Harran Üniversitesi}
