Abstract
In cases of AAA with significantly calcified aorta and aortic bifurcation, careful preoperative planning is imperative, taking into consideration the individualized characteristics of each patient. Hybrid techniques including proximal endovascular occlusion, careful mobilizations, aortic wall drilling, and tight suturing of the graft could be a reasonable strategy for such patients. However, larger case series is needed to prove the efficacy of this method.
