TODO - laparoscopic aorto-hepatic bypass; aortic debranching; EVAR
TODO - Introduction. Endovascular grafting of the aorta is gaining widespread
acceptance for treating aortic aneurysms. Pararenal aneurysms or
thoraco-abdominal aneurysms may be a relative contra-indication for
endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) unless visceral vessels can be
debranched.
Report. We describe a case of thoraco-abdominal aneurysm extending from
the descending thoracic aorta to the level of coeliac artery. A totally
laparoscopic retrograde aorto-hepatic bypass was performed in
conjunction with endograff exclusion of the aneurysm and coverage of the
coeliac artery ostium.
Discussion. Laparoscopic debranching of visceral vessels extends the
indications of EVAR.
