Vlasenko O. Endovascular Repair of Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: criteria for patient selection, evaluation of results

The thesis describes endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms. The study was based on data analysis of the examination and treatment results of 110 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm undergoing treatment in cardiac surgery and major vessel surgery departments of the National Institute of Surgery and Transplantology named after O. O. Shalimov of National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine for the period from 2005 to 2015. 85 patients (77,27 %) were implanted the bifurcation endoprostheses "Excluder" Gore with infrarenal fixation and 25 (22,73 %) patients were implanted the Medtronic "Endurant-II" prostheses with uncovered additional metal structure providing suprarenal fixation. The paper proves and outlines our approach to the definition of terms, type and stage in the combination of hemodynamically significant atherosclerotic lesions of various vascular basins.
