    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Surgical repair of nonruptured aortic aneurysms yielded a 6.3% mortality rate. Advanced age, large aneurysm size, and comorbidities were linked to poorer outcomes, contrasting sharply with the 58% mortality for ruptured aneurysms.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Cardiovascular Medicine
    • Surgical Outcomes Research

    Background:

    • Aortic aneurysms pose significant health risks, with rupture leading to high mortality.
    • Understanding outcomes for treated nonruptured aortic aneurysms is crucial for surgical decision-making.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes and identify prognostic factors for surgically treated nonruptured aortic aneurysms.
    • To compare mortality rates between nonruptured and ruptured aortic aneurysms.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 221 patients undergoing surgical repair for nonruptured aortic aneurysms over 15 years.
    • Data collection included patient demographics, aneurysm characteristics, comorbidities, and mortality.
    • Comparison with mortality data from 105 surgically treated ruptured aortic aneurysms during the same period.

    Main Results:

    • The overall mortality for nonruptured aortic aneurysms was 6.3%.
    • Adverse prognostic factors included advanced age (>60 years), large aneurysm diameter (≥7 cm), and associated cardiorespiratory diseases.
    • Mortality for ruptured aortic aneurysms was significantly higher at 58%.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical intervention for nonruptured aortic aneurysms is associated with a relatively low mortality rate.
    • Patient age, aneurysm size, and comorbidities are critical factors influencing surgical outcomes.
    • Prompt surgical excision of abdominal aortic aneurysms is recommended unless contraindicated by severe factors.
