[Symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm and left-sided infrarenal vena cava].
Coincidence of an abdominal aortic aneurysm and abnormalities of the inferior vena cava is a rare condition but has significance for surgical therapy. By the preoperative use of various imaging techniques and adapted surgical procedure the risk of the operation is decreasing to a minimal level. A case of symptomatic abdominal aneurysm and left-sided infrarenal vena cava is presented and the importance of preoperative examinations and operative strategy is discussed.
