Repeated excision of abdominal aortic aneurysm--case report].

A case of 69-year-old male patient with recurrent abdominal aortic aneurysm is described. The patient had been successfully operated on for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm 4 years before, and 2 months postoperatively dilatation of juxtarenal part of abdominal aorta was diagnosed in ultrasonic examination. Due to progressive enlargement of juxtarenal aneurysm the patient was admitted to hospital again and operated on. Excision of aneurysm with implantation of both renal arteries to the prosthesis was done. The perioperative course was uneventful. Authors emphasize the importance of evaluation of abdominal aorta after operative treatment of aneurysm (ultrasonic, CT, MRI) to diagnose recurrent aneurysms.
