Subsequent proximal aortic operations in 123 patients with previous infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery

Late Survival in Nonoperated Patients with Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.

OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND Historical studies report high rupture rates in patients with nonoperated abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) of > 5.5 cm diameter, although a recent audit has questioned this. METHODS This was a retrospective review of 138/764 (18%) patients with AAAs evaluated in a preassessment anaesthetic clinic (PAC) between 2006 and 2012, who either did not undergo elective AAA repair...

Surgical treatment of elderly patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm

Background The traditional surgical treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is now well codified in vascular surgery with a perioperative mortality rate that has gradually declining in recent years. The introduction of endovascular techniques has led the indications for surgery to be reviewed. The results of surgery in patients over eighty are fairly well defined: it is encoded that age a...

Infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm - comorbidity and results following open surgery

Evaluation of blood products utilization in abdominal aortic aneurysm repair patients’ elective surgery in ShohadaTajrish Hospital

 Abstract Background and Objectives Aortic aneurysm repair surgery (AAAs) is associated with massive bleeding that causes coagulation disorders during and after surgery. Considering that blood consumption in these patients has been studied in a few articles, we decided to investigate more. Materials and Methods In a cross-sectional study, patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms requiring surg...

Renal insufficiency after infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm reconstruction: An analysis of this risk factor in 45 patients

 Abstract Background: Renal insufficiency is a potential complication after infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and is a significant risk factor for postoperative mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of this risk factor, before and during operation. Methods: In this prospective study, between 2003 and 2006, 45 patients underwent repair of an infrarena...
