Anatomical Study of the Treatment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm - A Short Report

What is it about?

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are relatively common and are potentially life-threatening. Patients at greatest risk for AAA are men who are older than 65 years and have peripheral atherosclerotic vascular disease. AAAs usually is asymptomatic until they expand or rupture. An expanding AAA causes sudden, severe, and constant low back, flank, abdominal, or groin pain. The advent of endovascular therapies has led to a paradigm shift in the management of abdominal aortic pathology. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has revolutionized the treatment of AAAs disease. Abdominal endografts are seeing widespread use as the first-line approach in treating elective aortic disease and are increasingly used to treat emergent processes including ruptures
