    Summary

    Early surgical intervention for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is crucial. Elective AAA repair shows low mortality, while symptomatic or ruptured aneurysms carry significant risks, highlighting the need for prompt treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Aortic Aneurysm Research
    • Surgical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) pose a significant health risk.
    • Treatment outcomes for AAA vary based on clinical presentation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical repair for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).
    • To compare morbidity and mortality rates across different AAA patient groups.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 103 patients undergoing AAA repair between 1978-1983.
    • Classification of patients into elective, symptomatic non-ruptured, and ruptured AAA groups.
    • Inclusion of prophylactic inferior vena cava interruption in all procedures.

    Main Results:

    • Elective AAA repair (Group I) had 0% mortality and 19% morbidity.
    • Symptomatic non-ruptured AAA (Group II) had 6% mortality and 33% morbidity.
    • Ruptured AAA (Group III) had 37% mortality and 100% morbidity.
    • No pulmonary emboli complications were observed due to vena cava interruption.

    Conclusions:

    • Early and aggressive treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms is essential.
    • Delayed treatment of symptomatic or ruptured AAA leads to prohibitive mortality and morbidity.
    • Prophylactic inferior vena cava interruption is effective in preventing pulmonary emboli.
