In 1991 a new method of treatment of aneurysms of the abdominal aorta was published. The method is based on bridging the sac of the aneurysm by an endoluminal graft. The graft is a stent provided with a special vascular prosthesis. The endoprosthesis is inserted by means of a catheter from arteriotomy of the common femoral artery. The objective of the submitted work was to test the possibility to use a polyester covered spiral Z stent in the treatment of aneurysms of the abdominal aorta. For experiments six dogs were used weighing 12-18 kg. In the experimental animals an artificial aneurysm of the abdominal aorta was induced. Then the authors interposed surgically into the subrenal section of the abdominal aorta a special polyester knitted prosthesis imitating the shape of the aneurysm. Two weeks after surgery angiography of the abdominal aorta was performed. After angiography the authors introduced from arteriotomy of the superficial femoral artery an endoluminal graft into the artificial aneurysm. The graft bridged the aneurysm on the inside and this led to thrombosis of the sac of the aneurysm. The state of the graft and aneurysm was checked sonographically and angiographically. The graft was successfully used in all experimental animals. Angiographic check-up examinations revealed that application of the graft led to immediate exclusion of the sac of the aneurysm. In two experimental animals the graft was inserted in an excessively cranial position. It did not bridge the aneurysm throughout its length. Reflux of blood in the distal part persisted and filled the residual cavity of the sac of the aneurysm.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
