Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: Changing Paradigms in Treatment
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are a well-recognized cause of morbidity and mortality in older persons. The 20th century has lead to many overall advances in surgery and specifically the management of complex and often lethal disease processes. In the early part of last century, advances in anesthesia and critical care allowed for the surgical management of AAA via the open approach, which is...
متن کامل[Endovascular treatment of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms].
Currently, two treatment options for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are available: conventional open surgical repair and endovascular minimally invasive repair. Open repair carries a significant morbidity and mortality rate, most probably due to the combined effects of general anaesthesia and surgical exposure. Based on anatomical characteristics as assessed by CT scan, approximately...
متن کاملTreatment of unruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms.
The incidence of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) has persistently increased over the past decades (Best et al., 2003). This is partly attributed to increased ageing of the population, improved diagnostic tools and the introduction of screening programmes (Sakalihasan et al., 2005). To date, AAAs are responsible for 1.3% of all deaths among men aged between 65-85 years in developed countries (S...
متن کاملThe long-term follow-up results of elective surgical treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysms.
This study was aimed at evaluating early and long-term follow-up results of surgical reconstruction of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). A consecutive series of 392 patients who underwent elective abdominal aortic repair from 1974 to 2000 was reviewed retrospectively. The mean age was 69.8 years (range 34-90), with 329 males and 63 females. The hospital mortality rate was 3.8% (15/39...
متن کاملValue of volume measurements in evaluating abdominal aortic aneurysms growth rate and need for surgical treatment.
PURPOSE To examine whether indices other than the traditionally used abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) maximum diameter, such as AAA volume, intraluminal thrombus (ILT) thickness and ILT volume, may be superior to evaluate aneurismal enlargement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-four small AAAs (initially presenting a maximum diameter <5.5cm which is the threshold for surgical repair) with an initi...
