Abstract
We report our initial experience with total laparoscopic repeat aortic surgery between June 2002 and October 2003. There were 4 patients, 3 men and 1 woman, ages 83, 67, 49, and 61 years, respectively. First operations were performed to treat aortoiliac occlusive disease. Repeat aortic surgery was indicated to treat para-anastomotic aneurysms (n = 2) and graft occlusion (n = 2). All patients underwent total laparoscopic surgery. There were no postoperative deaths. Only 1 patient had postoperative complications that required complementary surgical treatment. All patients were alive with patent revascularization after a mean follow-up of 14, 17, 20, and 12 months, respectively.
