Simultaneous endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm and renal artery stenosis
Nadciśnienie tętnicze 2011;15(3):184-187.
Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) often coexists with renal
artery stenosis (RAS). Such patients need an individualized
approach in choice of treatment. Endovascular repair
of infrarenal AAA has become in recent years a generally
accepted alternative to open surgery. In treatment of
RAS, percutaneous techniques have largely replaced surgical
revascularization. In the article a case of patient witha
high level of perioperative risk and refractory hypertension
is presented, who was successfully treated with simultaneous
endovascular repair of AAA and RAS.
