A rapid and significant vasodepressor effect was obtained during acute stage before and after surgery on aortic aneurysm with continuous antihypertensive therapy using nicardipine hydrochloride. Twenty patients were treated; 6 patients had an acute dissecting aneurysm of the aorta, 8 were postoperative cases following resection of the thoracic aortic aneurysm, and 6 were postoperative cases of the abdominal aortic aneurysm.
