Open surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm: Proximal aortic control by endoaortic balloon - A novel approach. Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia. 2012 Jul; 15(3): 236-239.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/139679Patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm with unfavorable anatomy for endovascular aneurysm repair have to undergo open surgical repair. Open surgery has its own morbidity in terms of proximal clamping and declamping, bleeding and prolonged hospital stay and mortality. We present two such patients with juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm who underwent open surgical repair. The proximal aortic control during open surgical repair of the aneurysm was achieved by endoaortic balloon occlusion technique.enAbdominal aortic aneurysmEndoaortic balloon occlusionAbdominal aortic aneurysm repairAortic Aneurysm, Abdominal --surgeryBalloon Occlusion --methodsBlood Vessel Prosthesis Implantation --methodsHumansMaleMiddle AgedArticle
