J Christenson, B Eklöf, I Gustafson

    The British Journal of Surgery
    |November 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Elective surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysms has a lower mortality rate (15%) compared to emergency surgery (56%). This study identifies optimal surgical candidates for abdominal aortic aneurysms.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Aortic Aneurysm Research

    Background:

    • Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) pose significant surgical challenges.
    • Historical data from 1960-1974 reveals varying outcomes for AAA interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze mortality rates associated with elective versus emergency surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
    • To establish criteria for selecting patients for AAA surgery, differentiating between ruptured and unruptured cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 124 consecutive patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms.
    • Data collected from patients admitted between 1960 and 1974.

    Main Results:

    • Emergency AAA operations had a high mortality rate of 56%.
    • Elective AAA operations demonstrated a significantly lower mortality rate of 15%.
    • A trend of decreasing mortality in elective AAA repair was observed over the study period.

    Conclusions:

    • Elective surgical repair is associated with substantially better outcomes for abdominal aortic aneurysms.
    • Careful patient selection is crucial for optimizing surgical results in both ruptured and unruptured AAA cases.
