Treatment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm by Excision and Replacement by Homograft

HENRY T. BAHNSON M.D.¹

¹ From the Department of Surgery, Johns Hopkins Hospital and University, Baltimore, Md. The author is a John and Mary R. Markle Scholar.

Fourteen patients with arteriosclerotic aneurysm of the abdominal aorta are described. Excision of the aneurysm and reconstruction by an aortic homograft have been used in all cases. One patient from whom a ruptured aneurysm was excised, died after operation of uremia. Two other patients died of coronary artery disease after leaving the hospital. The remaining patients are well. Early results with this form of treatment are significantly better than those obtained by less definitive methods used in the past.
