Abstract:
The paper analyzes the results of computed tomography (CT) conducted in 54 patients with complicated abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Of them, 37 cases were diagnosed as having a complete rupture. There was dissection of the wall of the aneurysmally altered aorta and its slight tear in 11 and 6 cases, respectively. CT has been shown to allow one to diagnose complications due to AAA, their pattern, and site, to identify the factors that increase a risk for rupture, such as a slight tear of the inner layers of the wall of the aneurysmal abdominal aorta and its wall dissection. This all assists in solving a variety of the problems associated with treatment policy and may substantially reduce postoperative morbidity in this group of patients.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
