    Surgical treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysms showed a significantly lower operative death rate (2.7%) in elective cases compared to emergency surgeries (50%). This review discusses key surgical considerations.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Cardiovascular Medicine
    • Surgical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) pose significant risks, necessitating effective surgical interventions.
    • Management strategies for AAAs, including elective and emergency procedures, vary in outcomes.
    • Controversies exist regarding optimal AAA diagnosis, patient selection, and surgical techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To retrospectively review the surgical treatment outcomes for 51 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms.
    • To compare the operative death rates between elective and emergency AAA surgeries.
    • To discuss controversial aspects of AAA management, including diagnosis, comorbidities, surgical technique, and patient selection.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 51 surgical cases of abdominal aortic aneurysms.

  • Categorization of patients into elective (35) and emergency (16) surgery groups.
  • Inclusion of fissurated aneurysms within the elective surgery cohort.

    • Main Results:

    • Elective surgery for AAAs had an operative death rate of 2.7%.
    • Emergency surgery for AAAs had a significantly higher operative death rate of 50%.
    • Fissurated aneurysms were managed electively.

    Conclusions:

    • Elective surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms is associated with substantially lower mortality than emergency procedures.
    • Careful patient selection and surgical technique are crucial for improving AAA treatment outcomes.
    • Further discussion on diagnostic and therapeutic controversies in AAA management is warranted.
