ABSTRACT

In 1991 the first circulatory exclusion of an abdominal aortic aneurysm was performed by implanting an endoprosthesis through the femoral arteries. Since then, endovascular treatment (EVT) has evolved and today transfemoral placement of endoprosthesis is a valuable contribution in management of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
At Centro Medico Nacional 20 de Noviembre, anatomic assessment prior to EVT of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is made with data obtained from a computed angiotomography; 3-D and multiplanar reconstructions are made using different software, including endovascular navigation. Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) has gradually replaced conventional angiography using for anatomic assessment of abdominal aortic aneurysms before placement of an endoprosthesis. It is a noninvasive, fast, and highly reliable method.
