Abdominal aortic aneurysm wiring: an alternative method.

Intraluminal wire reinforcement of symptomatic aortic aneurysms in extremely poor risk patients was performed. Hospital mortality was 12.5% with actuarial survival of 74 and 33% at one and five years, respectively. There was improved survival and decreased incidence of rupture compared with untreated patients. Thus, aneurysm wiring is a feasible alternative in treating poor risk patients with extensive aortic disease.
