The Cattell-Braasch maneuver might be a good option for a huge abdominal aortic aneurysm
2019
Abstract Endovascular repair is often difficult in the case of a huge abdominal aortic aneurysm for anatomic reasons. Here, we describe open repair of a huge infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. Open repair was performed through laparotomy with the Cattell-Braasch maneuver, a technique for right-sided medial visceral rotation. Laparotomy with the Cattell-Braasch maneuver is simple and effective in open repair of a huge abdominal aortic aneurysm extending into the right common iliac artery, for which proximal clamping is difficult because of a tortuous proximal neck just below the hepatic region.
