Abstract:
The constant increase in the median age over 80 requires more and more care from vascular surgeons to obtain better results in the treatment of aortic degenerative diseases. In the last years a remarkable improvement in the procedures of endovascular surgery of abdominal aortic aneurysms has been reached. Actually different prostheses are available for the treatment of aortic aneurysms. The early results of these procedures are similar to the traditional surgical techniques, but at the moment long term results are not yet available. The Authors underline the importance of a long term follow up to allow a correct evaluation of physiopathological modifications in the aortic circulation.
