Abstract EN
Background.
The coexistence of neoplasm and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) presents a real management challenge.
This paper reviews the literature on the prevalence, diagnosis, and management dilemmas of concurrent visceral malignancy and abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Method.
The MEDLINE and HIGHWIRE databases (1966-present) were searched.
Papers detailing relevant data were assessed for quality and validity.
All case series, review articles, and references of such articles were searched for additional relevant papers.
Results.
Current challenges in decision making, the effect of major body-cavity surgery on an untreated aneurysm, the effects of major vascular surgery on the treatment of malignancy, the use of EVAR (endovascular aortic aneurysm repair) as a fairly low-risk procedure and its role in the management of malignancy, and the effect of other challenging issues such as the use of adjuvant therapy, and patients informed decision-making were reviewed and discussed.
Conclusion.
In synchronous malignancy and abdominal aortic aneurysm, the most life-threatening lesion should be addressed first.
Endovascular aneurysm repair where possible, followed by malignancy resection, is becoming the preferred initial treatment choice in most centres.
