Recent technological advances in the diagnosis and therapy
of abdominal aortic aneurysm and renovascular disease
are continuing to bring about changes in the way patients
suffering from these conditions are treated. The prevalence
of both these conditions is increasing. This is due to
greater life-expectancy in patients with arteriosclerosis,
a pathogenetic factor underlying both conditions. The
application of diagnostic imaging techniques to non-vascular
conditions has led to the early diagnosis of abdominal
aortic aneurysm. Clinical suspicion of reno-vascular disease
can be confirmed easily using high-resolution diagnostic
imaging modalities such as CT angiography and magnetic
resonance angiography. Endovascular intervention is successfully
replacing conventional surgical repair techniques, with
the result that it may be possible to improve outcome
in both conditions using effective and minimally invasive
approaches. Future technological developments will enable
these endovascular techniques to be applied in the large
majority of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm or
renovascular disease. |
