Since their inception, surgical stapling devices have been used almost exclusively in pulmonary and gastrointestinal procedures. We present our experience with surgical staplers in operations for aneurysms of the aorta. Three illustrative case reports are presented that demonstrate the applicability of surgical stapling devices in excluding aortic aneurysms.

Seven patients have undergone operation using this technique, all with excellent technical results. We believe that surgical stapling devices represent a safe, easy, and rapid means of excluding aneurysms of the aorta.
