Abstract
ABSTRACT
Aortic aneurysms are abnormal dilatation of aorta. The risk factors include male
sex, age > 65, smoking, coronary artery disease and hypertension. Here we report a
case of infra-renal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) of diameter 6 cm. The patient
sucessfully underwent aorto-biiliac bypass surgery using Dacron Y graft. During
abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery anesthetic challenge is also of paramount
importance and should be considered.
