Summary
This study presents a hybrid surgical approach for complex abdominal aortic aneurysms in high-risk patients. It combines endovascular stent-grafting with traditional vascular surgery for effective treatment.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Endovascular Interventions
- Aortic Aneurysm Treatment
Background:
- Standard endovascular repair is challenging for complex abdominal aortic aneurysms.
- High-risk patients often require alternative treatment strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a hybrid surgical technique for treating complex abdominal aortic aneurysms in high-risk individuals.
- To evaluate the combination of endovascular stent-grafting and conventional vascular surgery.
Main Methods:
- Hybrid surgical approach combining endovascular stent-grafting and open vascular procedures.
- Focus on aneurysmal sac exclusion in complex aortic morphologies.
Main Results:
- Successful application of the hybrid technique in high-risk patients.
- Effective exclusion of the aneurysmal sac was achieved.
Conclusions:
- The hybrid surgical approach is a viable option for high-risk patients with complex abdominal aortic aneurysms.
- This combined strategy offers an alternative to standard endovascular repair.
