A clinical case of surgical treatment of a child with aneurysms of the abdominal aorta and aortic bifurcation, superior mesenteric artery and multiple aneurysms of the main arteries

Abstract

A brief literature review on abdominal aortic aneurysms in children and our own observation of surgical treatment of a 5-year-old child with an aneurysm of the abdominal aorta and aortic bifurcation, an aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery, and multiple aneurysms of the arteries of the lower extremities has been presented in the paper. Staged replacement of the aortic aneurysm and superior mesenteric artery with synthetic polytetrafluoroethylene prostheses was performed. The features of surgical interventions, difficulties and complications that the authors encountered during the treatment of the child are described.
