Abstract

This study was a 4-year prospective audit of abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery including 222 aneurysm repairs: 106 elective, 76 urgent and 40 emergency. Twenty-five patients died: four who underwent elective surgery, seven urgent and 14 emergency. The two major causes of death, multiple organ failure and colonic ischaemia, were responsible for 11 of the 25 deaths. The three deaths from myocardial infarction all occurred in patients with a leaking aneurysm. Blood loss was significantly higher in patients with multiple organ failure and in those with colonic ischaemia. Methods to identify patients at high risk of massive blood loss and colonic ischaemia may be a way to reduce mortality.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.
