Abstract

Most patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm can safely undergo aneurysmectomy. In poor-risk patients the mortality rate is greatly increased. A procedure which is a safe alternative for patients who might otherwise be denied an elective procedure is described. However, this technique for the management of abdominal aortic aneurysm is not a substitute for the classic surgical treatment.
