title: Management of a Large Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in Conjunction with a Massive Inguinal Hernia.
abstract: The majority of inguinal hernias that are concomitant with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are clinically insignificant. However, management of AAA associated with a complex hernia can be challenging. We report a case of a 72-year-old male with a 7-cm AAA and a massive inguinal hernia involving loss of abdominal domain. Using a multidisciplinary approach, a staged hybrid endovascular and open repair of the AAA was performed followed by hernia repair.
