Abstract
For the evaluation of thoracical and abdominal aortic aneurysms digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and conventional computed tomography (CT) have been developed to standardized methods. On one hand the DSA shows the flow phenomenas in the aorta and the connective vessels, particularly iliacal and femoral arteries and the size of the aneurysms itself. In cases of thrombosis in the aneurysms DSA does not reveal the total volume of the that. On the other hand CT gives information about the aortic wall, side branches and the surrounding soft tissue of the aneurysms. For taking all these informations we still need two methods. Every investigation has its own risks, advantages and disadvantages.
