Emergency resections in aneurysms ruptured abdominal aorta, in patients with 80 and over years of age
Keywords:
aneurism, abdominal aortaAbstract
Authors present 12 cases of 80 to 94 year old patients who
underwent surgical emergency treatment for torn
abdominal aorta aneurysms. Al/ cases presented severe
hemodynamical repercussion on admission.
The aneurysm had been already diagnosed in nine
cases, but patients had not been operated on because of
their age and risky general condition.
Six of the patients died. The other six were discharged
from hospital and considered cured. This means the
previous 80 year old limit for abdominal aorta aneurysm
surgery should no longer be taken into account.
