[Results of treating inflammatory aneurysms of the abdominal aorta]

The authors present the results of treatment of six inflammatory aneurysms in the material of 53 aneurysms treated surgically in the years 1987-1992. Direct results of surgical treatment, hospitalization period, and peri-operational complications are the subject of analysis. Peri-operational mortality of the patients with inflammatory aneurysm was higher than that of patients with non-inflammatory aneurysm, undergoing elective surgery. Higher incidence of peri-operational complications indicates higher operational risk of inflammatory aneurysm.
