The tape outlines all of the important steps in performance of an abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy, beginning with an animated illustration of the technique of incision and following through to wound closure. Animation is used in appropriate areas to outline specific areas which cannot be detailed in the actual operation. Two patients are shown, one illustrating the use of the tube graft, and the other demonstrating a bifurcated aortobifemoral aneurysm replacement.
