    Elective abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery showed lower long-term survival than the standard population, while emergency surgery survival was similar. Arteriosclerosis significantly impacts long-term survival post-aneurysm repair.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Cardiovascular Research
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair is a major surgical procedure.
    • Outcomes differ significantly between elective and acute (emergency) AAA surgery.
    • Long-term survival post-AAA repair requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the long-term survival rates of patients undergoing elective versus acute abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery.
    • To assess the influence of age and arteriosclerosis on long-term survival after AAA repair.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 437 patients who underwent AAA surgery.
    • Comparison of five-year survival rates between elective (n=206) and acute (n=231) surgical groups.
    • Survival curve analysis comparing patient cohorts to a demographically similar standard population.

    Main Results:

    • Five-year survival was 65% for elective and 40% for acute surgery, influenced by perioperative mortality.
    • Elective surgery survivors had lower survival probabilities than the standard population.
    • Acute surgery survivors demonstrated similar survival probabilities to the standard population.
    • Arteriosclerosis was identified as the primary determinant of long-term survival.

    Conclusions:

    • Long-term survival post-elective AAA repair is poorer than for the general population.
    • Acute AAA surgery patients have comparable long-term survival to the general population.
    • Perioperative factors significantly influence short-term survival, while arteriosclerosis dictates long-term outcomes.
