| Summary: | The authors analyzed the single-center experience of treatment of 72 patients with abdominal aortic aneurisms and severe accompanied pathology. The aneurisms were repaired by stentgrafts. All the patients had abdominal aortic aneurisms with the diameters from 41 to 84 mm against the background of severe somatic pathology. It was a contraindication to planned open surgery. An installation of stent-graft was successful in all 72 follow-ups. It wasn’t necessary to use a conversion to open surgery. The follow-up period consisted of 44,6±2,1 months. Control ultrasound and computer tomography studies hadn’t revealed an increase of aneurism sack sizes or «leakages». A reduction of abdominal aortic aneurism sizes was noted in 37 patients on 4-5% during first year after operation. The stentgraft implantation extends the possibilities of abdominal aortic aneurism treatment for patients from a high surgical risk group.
