Abdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA) is a serious and relatively frequent disease which directly endanger a patient with rupture and haemorrhage. Besides a standard surgical technique of AAA repair, another method has been developed in the last years – endovascular stentgraft implantation for aortic aneurysms. For its lower invasiveness it seems to be suitable especially 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 anaesthesiological technique with endovascular stentgraft implantation for aortic aneurysms.
