title: [Application of transluminally place endoluminal prosthetic grafts for the treatment of multiple aortic aneurysms].
abstract: We have 5 cases with multiple aortic aneurysms who have undergone conventional abdominal aortic replacement with transluminally placed endoluminal prosthetic grafts (TPEGs) into the descending thoracic aorta. Simultaneous operation was done in one patient. A 2-stage operation was done in 4 patients, and the abdominal aortic aneurysm was performed on the first. One patient required urgent surgical intervention to treat migration of a stent-graft. However, there was no hospital death. The mean follow-up interval was 34 months and there were no complications correlated with the procedures. Application of TPEGs for the treatment of multiple aortic aneurysms may be a valuable treatment option.
