Aim of study: We analyzed the case of two patients with ruptured aortic aneurysm treated with the usage of the endowascular method.
Materials and methods: Treatment of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms is burdened with a high mortality rate during the perioperative period. The implantation of forked stent-grafts and uni-grafts significantly reduced the mortality rate in this group of patients. Usage of this treatment requires the hybrid operating room. An essential element is to have the appropriate amount of equipment available to find a suitable intravascular prostheses. Uni-grafts are a good alternative for smaller divisions and for physicians with less experience in endovascular surgery.
Conclusion: Endowascular procedures have a great chance to became a golden treatment standard.
