Abstract:
Aortic aneurysms always require surgical treatment, either elective procedures, supported by the rupture high risk (up to 50% during the first year for lesions greater than 6 cm, and 15-20% for those with diameter smaller than 6 cm), or in emergency when this rupture occurs. In these cases, mortality rate is considerable (>70%) for the subjects with stabilized vital parameters. However clinical practice show that the amount of individuals who decide submitting this kind of surgery when the eligibility is favorable (integrum aneurysm and small size), is yet poor.
