Abstract:
A case of subrenal abdominal aortic aneurysm treated by unipolar exclusion and axillobifemoral bypass is reported. The exclusion was performed by inserting inflatable balloons through a femoral access and obstructing the iliac arteries. This technique may be useful in poor-risk patients with a symptom-free aneurysm.
