Considerations for patients undergoing endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Anesthesiology clinics Ullery, B. W., Lee, J. T. 2014; 32 (3): 723-734

Abstract

Endovascular aneurysm repair has taken over open surgery as the primary strategy for treatment of patients with abdominal and thoracic aneurysms. The minimally invasive nature of these techniques requires alterations in preoperative workup, intraoperative management, and familiarity with unique complications that can occur. Familiarity from the anesthetic standpoint of endovascular techniques, including treatment of patients with fenestrated, chimney, snorkel, and periscope grafts, is necessary for the contemporary cardiac anesthesiologist.
