title: [Evaluation of coronary risk in patients with subrenal abdominal aortic aneurysm].
abstract: Atheroma lesions are often found in multiple localizations. In addition, operative mortality for aneurysms of the non-ruptured sub-renal aorta is mainly related to coronary risk. In an attempt to reduce coronary risk, coronarography was performed in all patients (n = 297) from January 1989. Operation for the aneurysm was performed in 192 patients (reasons for not operating were small size of the aneurysm, other contraindication). There were 5 deaths, all related to coronary artery disease. Coronary bypass was performed in 42 patients either before (n = 38) or at the same time (n = 4) as the operation for the aneurysm of the aorta. There were no operative deaths. These results clearly demonstrate the importance of search and treatment of associated coronary lesions in all patients with an aneurysm of the subrenal abdominal aorta. Coronary lesions should be treated whenever morphology allows.
