Abstract
Vascular surgery is a challenging discipline and complex aneurysms can present an entire range of technical difficulties. To overcome these problems good technical skills are mandatory. However, it is also worth remembering a few basic rules:
• The simplest solution is often the best.
• All cases need careful planning, including that of the approach
• A successful anastomosis requires good aortic tissue
• Minimal dissection reduces morbidity.
