Abstract

To examine late reintervention rates for aortic graft-related events and new aortoiliac disease after open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair in an Australian population. Interrogation of a prospective computerized database identified 1256 consecutive patients (1058 men, 198 women; median age, 70 years; range, 40 to 97 years) who survived open repair of nonruptured (n = 957, group I) and ruptured (n = 299, group II) infrarenal AAA in a single institution between January 1, 1982 and December 31, 2003. Median (range) follow-up was 41 (1 to 261) months for group I and 30 (1 to 243) months for group II. In group I, 33 patients (3.4%) underwent 38 late reinterventions: 20 patients (2.1%) for aortic graft-related events at a median (range) interval of 36 (1 to 94) months after the index AAA repair, with a 30-day mortality rate of 15%; and 13 patients (1.4%) for new aortoiliac disease at a median (range) interval of 33 (3 to 207) months, with 30-day mortality of 8%. In group II, 15 patients (5%) underwent 16 late reinterventions: 10 patients (3.3%) for aortic graft-related events at a median (range) interval of 5 (2 to 112) months, with a 30-day mortality of 10%; and five patients (1.7%) for new aortoiliac disease at a median (ran...Continue Reading

Aneurysm

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

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.
