PURPOSE: To demonstrate the endovascular approach to the management of @entity1755 ( @entity1028 ). METHODS: From 1995 to 2001, 24 @entity1 (21 @entity1 ; mean age 69 years, range 26-92) underwent emergency endovascular treatment for @entity1755 . The average interval between onset of symptoms and admission to the hospital was 8.0 hours; the mean time between admission and the operation was 2.3 hours. No suprarenal occluding catheter was used. The stent-graft configurations were 19 bifurcated, 4 tube, and 1 aortomonoiliac. RESULTS: Stent-graft placement was successful in 23 (96%) cases. Failed limb extension deployment prompted conversion to open surgery in the remaining @entity1 . One case was converted to open surgery. Mean duration of treatment was 122 minutes. Three (12.5%) @entity1 died in-hospital. The median hospital stay was 12 days. The rate of endoleaks (all type I) was 16.7%. The overall technical success rate was 77%. The 3-year actuarial survival rate was 75%. CONCLUSIONS: Our experience shows excellent results in emergency @entity1 with @entity397 AAAs treated with endovascular surgery. In order to verify these promising results, a broader-scale clinical study must be conducted.
