The epidemiology of surgically repaired aneurysms in the United States

Abstract

The location of aneurysm, urgency of repair, region, sex, and hospital size are important factors related to patient treatment and outcome. These data provide a standard of comparison against which surgeons can compare their own results, and they provide a benchmark for the evaluation of interventional techniques proposed to treat aneurysms.

Open Repair of Infra Renal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: A Single Center Experience from the Developing World

“…2, 9, 10) While certain high-volume centers of excellence report very low mortality rates (from 0% to 1.2%), 3,11,12) multi-institutional nationwide data continue to show significantly higher incidence of mortality ranging between 4.2% and 8.4%. 11,12) This discrepancy has been seen as a result of the case volume related difference in outcome. Many reports have identified a strong relationship between the operative outcome and case volume of the individual surgeon or the institution.…”

A Case of Atherosclerotic Aneurysm of the Right Subclavian Artery with the Right Axillary Arterial Stenosis and Enlargement of the Ascending Aorta

“…8) Reported etiologies include arteriosclerosis, trauma, thoracic outlet syndrome, and infection (e.g., syphilis and other bacterial infections).…”

“…Various surgical approaches for subclavian aneurysms have been reported and include axillary incision, supraclavicular incision, median sternotomy, anterolateral incision, postero-lateral incision, and endovascular and hybrid procedures. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] In the present case, the complexity of the lesion required a procedure involving multiple stages. CT was effective for diagnosing the aneurysm but insufficient for diagnosing the other vascular abnormalities.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Among aneurysms involving the peripheral arteries, subclavian artery aneurysms are relatively rare and have various causes. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] We report here the successful surgical repair of a right subclavian artery aneurysm and replacement of the dilated ascending aorta and aortic arch in a patient who also had right axillary artery stenosis.…”

“…1 They can be asymptomatic, presenting only pulsatile mass in the supraclavicular region, or complicated, progressing to distal embolization, thrombosis or compression of neighboring structures. If left untreated, SAA may lead to rupture or ischemia of the affected limb.…”
