Ringed grafting for an abdominal aortic aneurysm in a 92-year-old patient: report of a case.

We report herein the case of a 92-year-old man with an abdominal aortic aneurysm who underwent successful surgical resection using a ringed graft. His postoperative course was uneventful, and he was discharged after 42 days, following which he attended the outpatient department twice a month for regular check-ups. He finally died of pneumonia which developed from an upper respiratory tract infection 6 months after his operation. Thus, surgical treatment should always be considered when an aneurysm is detected, even in very aged patients for whom the activities of daily living are possible.
