Stented Aortic Graft Insertion in an Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm as Performed by Cardiovascular Surgeons: Report of 3 cases / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

Abdominal aortic aneurysm has traditionally been treated by open repair. Aortic endovascular stent grafting has recently been introduced as a new modality. We report here on three cases of endovascular stent grafting that were performed by cardiovascular surgeons for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm in the high risk patients with multiple comorbidities such as old age, hypertension, renal failure, cerebrovascular accident and immobility.
