Abstract
- The usual treatment for aortic aneurysms is surgical replacement with a prosthetic graft; however the associated morbidity and mortality rates must be considered. Endovascular placement of self-expandable stent-graft is a safe noninvasive treatment that can be an alternative to the surgical repair, the postoperative course of the 2 cases of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms was uneventful and no complication has been associated with the stent-graft during the 17 months and 5 months follow-up studies.
