Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: 15 Years of Continued Experience in a Southern West Virginia Community

Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms in Southern Saskatchewan: A 10-Year Mortality Review

“…Patients presenting with rAAA and a systolic blood pressure below 90 mm Hg have been shown to have a higher mortality than those patients with a systolic blood pressure over 120 mm Hg (58% vs 26%, respectively). 15 We have confirmed this finding with a mortality rate of 46% in our patients with systolic blood pressure below 90 mm Hg and 8% mortality in those with a systolic blood pressure over 90 mm Hg. Only 37% of our patient population had a systolic blood pressure below 90 mm Hg; this compares with a rate of 51% in hypotensive patients seen in other series.…”

Improved Outcome after Rupture of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm over an 18-Year Period

“…Previous studies by our group and other authors have shown that these parameters significantly influence early mortality in patients with RAAA. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] One could suppose that this improvement in preoperative patient status was caused by faster diagnosis and faster transfer to the vascular surgery center. That supposition is supported by a significant increase in the number of patients with RAAA per year in group II compared with group I.…”
