Abstract:
The authors report a case of abdominal aortic aneurysm associated with biliary tract lithiasis. The need to simultaneously treat both diseases is stressed. A technique which involves endoscopy during open surgery in order to prevent contamination is illustrated. The technique used together with other manoeuvres is part of a methodology aiming to broaden indications to the treatment of abdominal diseases associated with vascular diseases, limiting at the same time the risks of prosthetic infection.
