“…In general, in the treatment of aortic aneurysms, the endovascular procedure is primarily indicated in the elderly, highrisk patients, or patients with contraindications for open surgery. The main advantage of this method over open surgery is lower postoperative mortality, while the percentage of reinterventions is significantly higher compared to open surgery [8,9].…”

Introduction. Abdominal aortic aneurysm diameter is one of the most important parameters in the diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for aneurysm follow-up. Currently, two therapeutic modalities are used: open surgery and endovascular aortic repair. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of the maximum transverse diameter of the abdominal aortic aneurysm on the incidence of general and specific complications. Material and Methods. The retrospective study included 75 patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm who underwent endovascular aortic repair in the period from July 2008 to January 2020. The patients were divided into two groups: group A with an abdominal aortic aneurysm size ? 5.9 cm, and group B with an abdominal aortic aneurysm size ? 6.0 cm. Results. A total of 41.3% of patients presented with a maximum transverse aneurysm diameter of ? 5.9 cm, and 58.7% of patients had ? 6.0 cm. Of comorbid diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was more prevalent in patients with a large abdominal aortic aneurysm (group A 25.8%; group B 59.1%). None of the other comorbidities showed a statistically significant difference between the two groups of patients. Early complications were present in a total of 14.7% of patients, of which 12.9% of patients with a small and 15.9% with a large abdominal aortic aneurysm. Late complications occurred in a total of 18.7% of patients, in 9.7% of patients with a small and 25% of patients with a large abdominal aortic aneurysm. Conclusion. Patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms with a maximum transverse diameter of 6 cm and larger, present with a higher rate of late postoperative complications, increase in aneurysmal sac on control multislice computed tomography angiography, and have a worse prognosis compared to patients with smaller abdominal aortic aneurysms.

“…Non-contrast computed tomography imaging is performed first, before the intravenous contrast application, with the purpose of detecting acute intramural hematoma, to measure single diameter of abdominal aneurysm sac and volume or to detect retroperitoneal hematoma in case of ruptured aneurysm. Image post-processing includes three-dimensional volume rendering technique (VRT) [8][9][10].…”

Introduction. The aorta is a major blood vessel that supplies all segments of the human body. Acute aortic syndrome is a term that implies a life-threatening aortic disease. Due to the speed of examination and widespread availability, computed tomography angiography is a front-line diagnostic modality for emergencies and diseases of the abdominal aorta. The aim of this study was to provide a wide range of potentially life-threatening abnormalities of the abdominal aorta in daily clinical and radiological practice through a series of computed tomography angiography images and three-dimensional virtual reconstruction. Abdominal aortic aneurysm is defined as a 50% increase in diameter more than the normal arterial diameter. One of the most important complications of an aneurysm is a rupture that can be acute or chronic, presenting with various clinical manifestations. Aortic dissections are caused by abnormality of the tunica media layer, forming an intimal-medial flap and two types of lumen. A penetrating aortic ulcer may erode through the internal elastic lamina of the aortic wall and allow formation of hematoma within the tunica media. Occlusive disease of the abdominal aorta may refer to the late stage of chronic aortoiliac occlusive disease, whereas the acute and/or subacute form occurs due to sudden thrombosis or occlusion. Conclusion. The recognition of specific radiological signs of abdominal aortic disease using computed tomography angiography contributes to optimal treatment of patients and reduces mortality.
