Aneurysmectomy in the aged.

W H Baker, J R Munns

    Archives of Surgery (Chicago, Ill. : 1960)
    |May 1, 1975

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    For patients over 70 undergoing aneurysmectomy, risk factors like smoking and heart disease increase long-term mortality, but not 30-day survival. Age itself is not a significant risk factor.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Geriatric Medicine
    • Cardiovascular Research

    Background:

    • Aneurysmectomy is a surgical procedure to remove an aneurysm.
    • Elderly patients (over 70) present unique challenges for surgical risk assessment.
    • Identifying risk factors for mortality after aneurysmectomy is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of various risk factors on mortality following aneurysmectomy in patients over 70 years old.
    • To determine if age is a significant predictor of mortality in this patient cohort.
    • To provide recommendations for the management of aneurysms based on size and patient risk factors.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of medical records.
    • Analysis of 206 patients aged 70 years and older who underwent aneurysmectomy.

  • Statistical evaluation of risk factors and mortality outcomes at 30 days, three years, and five years.

    • Main Results:

    • Increased three- and five-year mortality was associated with cerebral vascular disease, cardiac disease, diastolic hypertension, renal disease, and cigarette smoking.
    • Thirty-day mortality was not significantly affected by these risk factors.
    • Patient age was not found to be a significant risk factor for mortality.

    Conclusions:

    • Patients with aneurysms less than 7.5 cm and multiple risk factors may benefit from observation.
    • Resection of aneurysms greater than 7.5 cm is generally recommended to prevent rupture, even if it offers short-term palliation in high-risk individuals.
    • Risk factor assessment is vital for tailoring aneurysm management strategies in elderly patients.
