Case series reveals improved survival following aneurysm excision and homograft reconstruction in abdominal aortic aneurysm, highlighting operative feasibility.

Key Points

To evaluate the surgical outcomes of treating arteriosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysms via complete excision and replacement with an aortic homograft.
Case series involving 14 patients diagnosed with arteriosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Surgical intervention consisting of aneurysm excision and vascular reconstruction using an aortic homograft in all cases.
One patient with a ruptured aneurysm died postoperatively from uremia.
Two patients died of coronary artery disease following hospital discharge, while the remaining 11 patients survived and remained well.
Early procedural outcomes showed qualitative improvement compared to previously used, less definitive treatment techniques.
