From May 2007 to March 2009 under observation there were 58 patients aged from 52 to 79 years (mean age 68) with the diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Selection of patients for endoprosthesis was performed by the data of spiral computed aortography. The endovascular exclusion ofAAA from blood flow was performed in 15 patients. All the patients had high risk of surgery because of multiple concomitant pathologies. In 14 (93%) patients bifurcational and in 1 patient aortofemoral unilateral prostheses of AAA were made with the application of femoro-femoral bypass. All implantations were technically successful without complications. Shorter time of operation, less intraoperative blood loss, shorter tine of staying in hospital and time of rehabilitation were found to be 1.5-3 times as compared with classical surgical intervention. Implantation of bifurcational stent-graph seems to be the method of choice in treatment of AAA patients with severe concomitant pathology.
