Endovascular Repair of Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are catastrophic events with dismal outcomes. Even in the modern era, the overall mortality rate reaches 90%. Most ruptured aneurysms worldwide are repaired by conventional open surgery with a high operative mortality despite major medical advancements in diagnostic imaging and intensive care delivery. Over the past two decades, the in-hospital mortali...
متن کاملEndovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
In September 1999, the Food and Drug Administration approved two devices for the endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms. The endografts are placed from within the arteries using fluoroscopic guidance. The minimally invasive technique is performed using bilateral femoral artery cut-downs and has significant advantages over open surgical repair, including a reduction in morbidity, hosp...
متن کاملEndovascular repair of ruptured aortic aneurysms using carbon dioxide contrast angiography.
BACKGROUND Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become a common approach to the management of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA). The use of iodinated contrast during EVAR for rAAA has several disadvantages, including contrast nephropathy, potential allergic response, and the need for high-pressure injection. We evaluated the use of carbon dioxide (CO(2)) as the primary contrast agen...
متن کاملTreatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms: the role of endovascular repair.
Rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a significant cause of mortality in the United States. Often asymptomatic, AAA is considered a silent killer because it frequently remains undiagnosed until the time of rupture or the patient's death. Major risk factors, such as smoking, age, sex, race, and family history of aortic aneurysm, affect the formation of AAAs. National screening recomm...
متن کاملPostinterventional Surveillance of Endovascular Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
The present paper proposed to gather and underline the new developments and evidence at hand in the management of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), focusing especially on the endovascular treatment (EVAR) and the surveillance of EVAR performed for AAA. The intention was to identify the existing controversies, identify a problem and give way to new research possibilities in this direction.
