Urgent surgery is crucial for patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Early operation, especially for hemodynamically unstable individuals, improves survival rates despite high mortality associated with large hematomas and shock.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Aortic Aneurysm Research
  • Trauma Surgery

Context:

  • Retrospective analysis of 96 patients undergoing surgery for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) between 1989 and 1999.
  • Study conducted at the 2nd Department of Surgery in Brno.
  • Investigated outcomes based on rupture type (isolated retroperitoneal vs. intra-abdominal with hemoperitoneum).

Purpose:

  • To evaluate prognostic factors and mortality rates in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms.
  • To determine the impact of rupture type and hematoma size on patient survival.
  • To support the recommendation for urgent surgical intervention in suspected AAA rupture cases.

Summary:

  • Mortality rates were 47.9% overall, with higher rates for intra-abdominal ruptures (51.5%) compared to retroperitoneal (40%).

  • Rupture type and hematoma size, correlating with diagnosis and operation time, are key prognostic indicators.
  • Smaller hematomas were associated with better survival rates.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the critical need for prompt surgical intervention in hemodynamically unstable patients with suspected AAA rupture.
    • Emphasizes that delaying surgery for additional diagnostic tests may negatively impact survival.
    • Findings align with international literature, reinforcing current best practices in emergency aortic aneurysm management.
