  • Aortna endoproteza - slikovna diagnostika, indikacije, meritve in prikaz = Diagnostic imaging and indications for treatment of aortic aneurysm by endoprosthesis
    Šurlan, Miloš ...
    This paper presents imaging diagnostics of an aneurysm of the aorta and indications, common contraindications and measurements for the construction and selection of an endoprosthesis. The examination ... using ultrasound is the most handy and economically justifiable method for detecting an aneurysm of the aorta, for monitoring asymptomatic aneurysms as well as patients having undergone an operation or those with an endoprothesis. Another examination to visualise the aortic aneurysm is computer tomography with or without contrastive medium. The plan for treating an aneurysm can be made with the help of a digital subtraction angiography, helical computer tomography angiography and/or magnetic resonance angiography. Digital subtraction angiography shows well the lightness of the aneurysm and the aorta, as well asthe changes inside of it, large arteries close to the aneurysm and the condition of pelvic arteries for the selection of the approach. The helical tomographic angiography and magnetic resonance angiography in two or three dimensional reproduction in several directions enable an accurate measurement of the aneurysm, the aorta diameter above and below the aneurysm, and the evaluation of the quality of its wall. Indication areas for endoprosthesis areaneurysms of the abdominal aorta and of the descending part of the thoracicaorta. Treatment with endoprosthesis as a less invasive method is indicated in patients with a risk of a number of complications and even high mortality when treated surgically. Endoprosthesis is made of a metal stent andprosthesis. The stent attaches the endoprosthesis to the unaffected part ofthe aorta above and below the aneurysm, it sets the stent asunder and provides it support.(Abstract truncated at 2000 characters)
