Ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysms: A study of incidence and mortality rates

Abstract: The mortality rate of ruptured TAA is high. To decrease this high mortality rate, efficient screening methods for the diagnosis of TAA must be worked out, characteristics indicating high risk of rupture must be identified, and efforts should be made to increase the number of operations for ruptured TAA.

“…The incidence of this event is estimated to be 5 in 100,000. 7 According to some reports, only about 41% of patients with a ruptured TAA are alive on arrival to hospital. Unfortunately, this vascular catastrophe is almost always fatal with a mortality of 97%-100%, even in the hands of very experienced cardiovascular surgeons.…”

“…Unfortunately, this vascular catastrophe is almost always fatal with a mortality of 97%-100%, even in the hands of very experienced cardiovascular surgeons. 7 Whereas overt, free rupture leads to massive bleeding, contained rupture is characterized by a perivascular hematoma that is sealed off by periaortic structures, such as the pleura, pericardium, and surrounding organs. As a result, patients with contained aortic rupture are hemodynamically stable.…”

Haetta á rofi og flysjun eykst við aukið þvermál ósaeðarinnar.…”
