Abstrakt: Minimally invasive surgical therapies are popular with patients and third party payors because they offer increased safety, decreased pain, as well as shorter recovery times and hospital stays when compared to standard open surgery. Minimally invasive aortic surgery is now a practical reality. Our experience with 150 endovascular stent-graft aortic aneurysm repairs at Baptist Hospital East is detailed in the following report. In our practice, stent-grafting is now the treatment of choice for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms within the context of clinical trials.
