eComment: Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms - endovascular treatment and hemodynamic parameters

[Endovascular treatment of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms].

Currently, two treatment options for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are available: conventional open surgical repair and endovascular minimally invasive repair. Open repair carries a significant morbidity and mortality rate, most probably due to the combined effects of general anaesthesia and surgical exposure. Based on anatomical characteristics as assessed by CT scan, approximately...

Endovascular Repair of Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are catastrophic events with dismal outcomes. Even in the modern era, the overall mortality rate reaches 90%. Most ruptured aneurysms worldwide are repaired by conventional open surgery with a high operative mortality despite major medical advancements in diagnostic imaging and intensive care delivery. Over the past two decades, the in-hospital mortali...

Endovascular repair for acute symptomatic and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Since the introduction of endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm, an increasing proportion ofelective asymptomatic patients have been found to be suitable for endovascular repair despite uncertainties over long-term durability and cost benefit. However, one group of patients whose recovery would most likely be improved and in whom postoperative hospital stay would be reduced by this t...
