Preoperative aortography before abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy?

B Satiani, C R Veazey, R B Smith

    The American Surgeon
    |October 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Preoperative aortography is not always necessary for abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy. This review suggests selective use of angiography for specific patient problems, improving diagnostic value.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy is a major surgical procedure.
    • Preoperative imaging is crucial for surgical planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the necessity and value of preoperative aortography in patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy.
    • To propose indications for the selective use of preoperative aortography.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 100 consecutive patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy.
    • Comparison of preoperative aortography findings with physical examination, plain roentgenograms, and ultrasonography.

    Main Results:

    • Arteriography is not routinely required for all patients.
    • Angiography is valuable for evaluating specific pre-existing conditions or complications.
    • Non-invasive imaging modalities can suffice in many cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Selective preoperative aortography is recommended over routine use.
    • Indications for preoperative aortography should be based on specific clinical scenarios.
    • Optimizing imaging strategies can enhance diagnostic efficiency.
