title: Management of noncalcified aneurysms of the abdominal aorta.
abstract: Occasionally a previously undiagnosed aneurysm of the abdominal aorta will be found during the course of surgical procedure. When circumstances prevent extending the procedure to include resection and grafting of the aneurysm, the proper placement of silver clips as radiopaque markers may be of substantial benefit in managing this patient until definitive therapy can be instituted.
