    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Mortality in ruptured aortic aneurysms is high (75%), with low blood pressure and prior heart conditions worsening outcomes. Early intervention and fresh frozen plasma may improve survival for these critical vascular emergencies.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Cardiovascular Medicine
    • Critical Care

    Background:

    • Ruptured aortic aneurysms (RAA) represent a critical surgical emergency with high mortality rates.
    • Understanding factors influencing survival is crucial for improving patient outcomes in RAA management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the causes of death in patients with ruptured aortic aneurysms.
    • To identify preoperative predictors of survival and factors affecting mortality in RAA.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 180 consecutive patients with ruptured aortic aneurysms.
    • Multivariate analysis to determine significant preoperative features influencing survival.

    Main Results:

    • Overall mortality was 75%, with 18% dying before surgery and 10.5% during operation.

  • Low systolic blood pressure (<80 mmHg), history of hypertension, angina, or myocardial infarction were significant predictors of mortality.
  • Increasing age correlated with increased mortality.
  • Preoperative administration of fresh frozen plasma was associated with significantly improved survival.

    • Conclusions:

    • While mortality is high, no patient group is inevitably fatal.
    • Identifying high-risk features can guide perioperative management and resource allocation for ruptured aortic aneurysms.
    • Further research into optimizing treatment strategies, including blood product administration, is warranted.
