Ten-year experience in surgical treatment of these aneurysms is presented in article. Symptoms and etiology of this disease are considered. It is demonstrated that fibromuscular dysplasia is one of the main causes of these aneurysms. Strategy and policy of surgical treatment, clinical cases are analyzed. Resection of the aneurysm with angioplasty or grafting is optimal. End-to-end anastomosis is possible in patients with kinking.
