Abstract

We performed a total laparoscopic reimplantation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) during laparoscopic infrarenal aortic aneurysm repair. The postoperative course was uneventful, and angiograms showed a patent IMA after reimplantation. To our knowledge, total laparoscopic reimplantation of the IMA in human beings has not previously been described.
