risk factors for survival following open surgical repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms: a 13-year experience

Risk Factors for Survival following Open Surgical Repair of Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: A 13-Year Experience

BACKGROUND Surgical treatment of a ruptured abdominal aorta aneurysm (RAAA) continues to present a significant challenge to surgeons. There are some patient factors such as age and gender that cannot be changed, and comorbid conditions can be optimized but not eliminated. The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors affecting high mortality after the surgical repair of an RAAA. ...

Risk factors for postoperative renal dysfunction following open surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms retrospective analysis

Objectives To identify the risk factors for postoperative renal dysfunction after open surgical repair (OSR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and to establish a scoring system. Results The overall 30-day mortality rates were 22.0%(ruptured) vs 2.6% (unruptured), respectively. For the ruptured group, the independent risk factors were hemodynamic instability (P = 0.002) blood loss >1 L (P =...

Early prediction of survival after open surgical repair of 1 ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms

Early prediction of survival after open surgical repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms

BACKGROUND Scoring models are widely established in the intensive care unit (ICU). However, the importance in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) remains unclear. Our aim was to analyze scoring systems as predictors of survival in patients undergoing open surgical repair (OSR) for RAAA. METHODS This is a retrospective study in critically ill patients in a surgical ICU at a...

Endovascular Repair of Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are catastrophic events with dismal outcomes. Even in the modern era, the overall mortality rate reaches 90%. Most ruptured aneurysms worldwide are repaired by conventional open surgery with a high operative mortality despite major medical advancements in diagnostic imaging and intensive care delivery. Over the past two decades, the in-hospital mortali...

Risk factors affecting survival after surgical repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to identify the risk factors affecting the high mortality rates associated with the treatment of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). METHODS In this retrospective study, the subjects consisted of 105 patients who underwent repair of ruptured AAA at our institution from December 1984 to March 2012. We compared the patients of ruptured AAA in survival ...
