Summary

Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair has high mortality, but this study saw 30% mortality in 10 patients. This offers insights into managing ruptured AAA, including mycotic cases.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Aortic Aneurysm Research
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Mortality for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) remains high at approximately 50%, despite surgical and peri-operative care advancements.
  • Elective AAA repair has a significantly lower mortality rate, under 5%.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the experience of managing 10 patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
  • To analyze the peri-operative and overall mortality in this cohort.
  • To correlate findings with existing literature on ruptured AAA, including mycotic aneurysms.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 10 patients undergoing surgery for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) over a 2.5-year period.
  • Analysis of peri-operative and overall mortality rates.
  • Inclusion of one case of ruptured mycotic aneurysm.

Main Results:

  • The study involved 10 patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
  • Peri-operative and overall mortality for this group was 30%.
  • One patient presented with a ruptured mycotic aneurysm.

Conclusions:

  • Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair, even in experienced hands, carries substantial risk.
  • The observed 30% mortality highlights the critical nature of ruptured AAA.
  • Management strategies for ruptured AAA, including mycotic variants, require continued evaluation.
