Treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm by application of a Corvita endoprosthesis. Medium-term results of a feasibility study

Despite improvements in surgical techniques, progress in anesthesia and hemodynamic control, the risk of fatal outcome in the standard surgical technique for aneurysms of the abdominal aorta remains at about 5 to 6% due to associated coronary and pulmonary lesions. Surgical access to the aneurysm ma...

Summary:Despite improvements in surgical techniques, progress in anesthesia and hemodynamic control, the risk of fatal outcome in the standard surgical technique for aneurysms of the abdominal aorta remains at about 5 to 6% due to associated coronary and pulmonary lesions. Surgical access to the aneurysm may also be hindered in patients with a past history of multiple abdominal operations. In collaboration with the Corvita company, we developed a modular endoprosthesis for endoluminal treatment of AAA and report the results of a feasibility study.
