Aneurysm II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

193
Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...

Vigilant monitoring for aneurysm rupture is essential for patients undergoing aortic surgery.Preoperative Nursing ManagementContinuously monitor the patient for manifestations of aneurysm rupture, such as pallor, weakness, tachycardia, hypotension, abdominal, back, groin, or periumbilical pain, changes in consciousness, and a pulsating abdominal mass. Regularly assess the patient's peripheral pulses.Instruct the patient to consume a clear liquid diet the day before surgery and administer...

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended. This...

Summary

Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) shows lower mortality for abdominal aortic trauma (AAT) patients compared to open repair. This finding is crucial for improving outcomes in severe AAT cases.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Abdominal aortic trauma (AAT) is a rare but life-threatening condition with high mortality rates.
  • Surgical intervention is necessary for AAT, with open repair and endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) being the primary treatment options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the outcomes of open repair versus EVAR in patients with AAT.
  • To identify factors associated with mortality in AAT patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of the American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program database (2017-2020).
  • Inclusion of patients aged ≥18 years with AAT undergoing open repair or EVAR.
  • Multivariable logistic regression to determine independent predictors of in-hospital mortality.

Main Results:

  • Overall mortality was 47.5% among 369 AAT patients.
  • Independent predictors of increased mortality included older age, low Glasgow Coma Scale, hypotension, blunt trauma, and gunshot wounds.
  • EVAR was associated with significantly lower in-hospital mortality compared to open repair (aOR, 0.33; P = 0.019).

Conclusions:

  • AAT carries a significant mortality risk even for patients reaching the operating room.
  • EVAR is independently associated with reduced mortality in AAT patients compared to traditional open repair.
