| Popis: | Between 1960 and 1975, 277 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms were operated on at the West Virginia University Medical Center. One hundred ninety-three aneurysms were intact lesions and eighty-four were ruptured. Operative mortality for elective resection was 8.8 per cent and for ruptured aneurysms 66.7 per cent. Mortality associated with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms was best related to shock and advanced age. Ninety-nine per cent of patients underwent long-term follow-up which ranged from thirteen months to thirteen years and four months (mean, 4 years and 9 months). At present 61 per cent of patients surviving elective resection and 50 per cent of those surviving operation for ruptured aneurysm are alive. |
