[Treatment of the abdominal aorta combined with a second surgical procedure].
The synchronous performance of aortic graft with a second surgical procedure should be avoided because of the risk of subsequent graft infection. The Authors reported the experience of 21 patients who underwent synchronous aortic graft with second surgical procedure. No graft infection occurred and it is concluded that such combined operation may be safer to perform than staged surgery in elderly patients.
