Abstract:
The high incidence of aneurysms of different arterial systems in case of abdominal aortic aneurysm causes the need for the examination of all patients with aortic aneurysm in order to detect aneurysmal process in all main arteries. The use of the mentioned predictors of aneurism wall failure in daily clinical practice provides an opportunity to improve the results of surgical treatment. Active surgical approach in relation to aortic aneurysm and main arteries is indicated in the presence of aneurismal disease. The choice of treatment depends on the severity of the patient’s condition, clinical

Abstract:
Aortic disease is a collection of diseases of the aorta, which includes aortic aneurysms; acute aortic infections consisting of aortic dissection, intramular hematoma, penetration of atherosclerotic ulcers (PAU) and traumatic injury to the aorta; pseudoaneurysm; aortic rupture; Marfan syndrome; and congenital abnormalities such as coarctation of the aorta. One of the aortic diseases that cause the death rate to increase according to the 2010 Global Burden Disease is aortic aneurysm.

Abstract:
The infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm is the most common among arterial aneurysms; it happens when there is an abnormal and irreversible enlargement of the blood vessel. This disease usually compromises other arterial segments and is linked to high mortality rates, mainly due to its rupture. Given its importance, we present a case study of an abdominal aortic aneurysm associated with a common iliac artery aneurysm. During a dissection practice in the Morphofunctional Laboratory at FACERES Medical School, we observed the presence of a mild stenosis in the abdominal aorta below the renal arte

Abstract:
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are the most common arterial aneurysms. Endovascular or open surgical aneurysm repair is indicated in patients with large AAA ≥ 5.5 cm in diameter as this prevents aneurysm rupture. The presence even of small AAAs not in need of immediate repair is associated with a very high cardiovascular risk including myocardial infarction, stroke or cardiovascular death. This risk by far exceeds the risk of aneurysm rupture. These patients therefore should be considered as high-risk patients and receive optimal medical treatment and life-style modificiation of their cardio

Abstract:
Splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) is a rare condition in abdominal surgery and the third most abdominal aneurysm after aortic and iliac artery aneurysms. Open surgery during the giant SAA is still the gold standard of treatment. Here we present the case of the giant SAA in a 68-year-old man. He had a pancreatic mass and iron deficiency anemia. The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound and CT angiography and showed a pancreatic mass and expansion of the splenic artery more than 3.5 cm. The size of the aneurysm and the clinical picture of the patient were indications for open surgery. The patient wa

Abstract:
Today, abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery is a fairly well-studied area of medicine. Nevertheless, some questions remain rather debatable. No clear criteria for giant aneurysms have been developed so far. The available foreign and domestic literature reports about 40 cases of surgical treatment of giant abdominal aortic aneurysms, 16 of which are cases of aneurysm rupture. Open surgery remains the method of choice in the treatment of giant aneurysms due to the pronounced technical difficulties of endovascular intervention.

Abstract:
Aneurysms are characterized by structural deterioration of the vascular wall leading to progressive dilatation and, potentially, rupture of the aorta. While aortic aneurysms often remain clinically silent, the morbidity and mortality associated with aneurysm expansion and rupture are considerable. Over 13,000 deaths annually in the United States are attributable to aortic aneurysm rupture with less than 1 in 3 persons with aortic aneurysm rupture surviving to surgical intervention.

AbstractMycotic aneurysms, often saccular, accounting for approximately 2.5% of all abdominal aortic aneurysms, possess increased risk of rupture, uncontrolled sepsis, and protracted hospital stay and are associated with high morbidity and mortality. The authors report the case of a 49-year-old female with no known comorbidities who presented with free rupture of an infrarenal dissecting mycotic aneurysm and underwent emergent open repair successfully. The etiological agent, Brucella melitensis, a Gram-negative zoonotic coccobacillus, is rarely reported to cause mycotic aneurysm.

Abstract:
The pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm involves vascular inflammation and elastin degradation. Astragalusradix contains cycloastragenol, which is known to be anti-inflammatory and to protect against elastin degradation. We hypothesized that cycloastragenol supplementation inhibits abdominal aortic aneurysm progression. Abdominal aortic aneurysm was induced in male rats by intraluminal elastase infusion in the infrarenal aorta and treated daily with cycloastragenol (125 mg/kg/day). Aortic expansion was followed weekly by ultrasound for 28 days. Changes in aneurysmal wall composition were
