Abdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA) is a serious and relatively frequent disease which directly endanger a patient with ruptureand haemorrhage. Besides a standard surgical technique of AAA repair, another method has been developed in the lastyears - endovascular stentgraft implantation for aortic aneurysms. For its lower invasiveness it seems to be suitableespecially in high-risk patients in whom standard surgical operation is too risky.At the Homolka Hospital this method has been used since 1996. The authors describe their experience and anaesthesiologicaltechnique with endovascular stentgraft implantation for aortic aneurysms.
