Abstract
A case is described presenting with aortic dissection who
was found to have a significant infrarenal aortic aneurysm. Various treatment
options were considered for both conditions including open operation,
conservative management and stent repair. The paieint was managed
conservatively for six months whilst the dissection ‘matured’ when the
infrarenal aneurysm was repaired by open operation preserving both the true
and false proximal lumens to avoid renal or visceral ischaemia.
Key words
Aortic dissection; infrarenal aortic aneurysm; treatment.
