title: Two-stage Surgery for Endovascular Repair and Laparoscopic Colectomy for a Patient with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Concomitant Colon Cancer: Report of a Case.
abstract: Surgical management of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with concomitant malignancy remains controversial. Commercial availability of a stentgraft may change the treatment strategy for such patients. We present a case of AAA with concomitant colon cancer, in which two-stage surgery consisting of EVAR and subsequent laparoscopic colectomy was performed with an interval of six days. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. For high-risk patients, application of endovascular AAA repair and laparoscopic surgery may decrease the risk of surgical morbidity and mortality.
