Abstract
Total laparoscopic aortic repair is evolving and is now the technique of choice for the treatment of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) in our department. With growing experience, surgeons will be confronted with the same peroperative situations than open surgery. We report a case of total laparoscopic AAA repair with peroperative diagnosis of aorto-caval fistula (ACF).
