[Extract] We read with interest the recent publication by Ito et al. The investigators note that the risk profiles for patients with thoracic aneurysms and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are distinct. In particular, they note that coronary artery disease, emphysema, and diabetes are more common in patients with AAAs than in those with thoracic ...

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1982
Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms present the greatest challenge to the vascular surgeon. The inclusion technique, which is based on reattachment of visceral vessel origins to openings made in the replacment aortic graft, was developed by Crawford and his associates.
