Abstract
Surgical therapy in cirrhotic patients has high morbidity and mortality. Hepatic function and complexity of surgical procedures strongly influence postoperative results. We report the case of a cirrhotic patient with portal hypertension, abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and right colon cancer. After neoadjuvant transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, we performed 1-stage endovascular aneurysm repair and laparoscopic right colectomy. Minimally invasive surgery allows the effective treatment of high-risk patients with severe comorbidities that some years ago would not have been operated on.Entities:
