[False aneurysms after prosthesis of the abdominal aorta and major arteries]

In 170 restorative operations performed by the authors false aneurisms made their appearance in 8 patients (4.7%) within 1 month--8 years after plasty. In 7 patients false aneurisms were formed in the area of anastomosis of the prosthesis with the femoral artery; in one patient there was an aneurism of the autovenous graft. Five patients with false aneurisms after rposthezing the abdominal aorta and main arteries were subjected to repeated reconstructive operations. The effect was good in four of them.
