Induction of infrarenal AAA. A Surgical isolation of the infrarenal aorta. B Proximal and distal clamping and temporary clamping of the side branches. Endovascular balloon dilatation to 10 mm with 10 atm. for 5 min. Infusion of 10 ml of porcine elastase for 30 min. Endovascular balloon dilatation to 12 mm with 6 atm. for 5 min. C Placement of an infrarenal stenosing plastic cuff to stimulate turbulent flow. (Notice the early intraoperative AAA formation after the procedure). D Postoperative Doppler sonography showing turbulent flow in the infrarenal dilated segment.
