Although development of surgical technique and critical care, ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm still carries a high mortality. In order to obtain good results, various efforts have been attempted. This paper reviews initial management of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm and discuss the key point open surgical repair and endovascular aneurysm repair.

Aneurysms are characterized by structural deterioration of the vascular wall leading to progressive dilatation and, potentially, rupture of the aorta. While aortic aneurysms often remain clinically silent, the morbidity and mortality associated with aneurysm expansion and rupture are considerable. Over 13,000 deaths annually in the United States are attributable to aortic aneurysm rupture with ...

BACKGROUND Ischemic pancreatitis is a rare medical entity. The pancreatic tissue is susceptible to ischemia with the possibility of developing acute pancreatitis. The abdominal aortic aneurysm can be one possible cause of pancreatic hypoperfusion. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 68-year-old man, Caucasian, with a history of a cluster of severe cardiovascular conditions, who presente...

Methods 117 endovascular stent-graft procedures in 113 patients for thoracic, abdominal and iliac pathologies was performed at our institute between January 2009-April 2013. 94(83.1%) patients were male. Indications for endovascular interventions were as follows; 58 for abdominal aortic aneursym, 14 for descending aortic aneursym, 4 for both descending and abdominal aortic aneursyms, 2 for thor...

In a population-based study of 2,586 men and 2,806 postmenopausal women aged 55-74 years in Tromsø, Norway, in 1994-1995, associations between the prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysms and bone mineral density were examined. The presence of an abdominal aortic aneurysm was assessed by ultrasonography. The bone mineral density of the forearm was measured by single X-ray absorptiometry. In pos...

Inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms are pathophysiologically different from the noninflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms. Their inflammatory histology dictates its different behavior, and possibly, its particular response to endovascular treatment. The authors present a case of hydronephrosis and consequent acute kidney injury in a patient with an inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm wh...

Objective: Prompt bleeding control with proximal aortic clamping and subsequent aortic repair are very important for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. However, unsuitable anatomy, such as short aortic neck length, not only disturbs the means to an expeditious repair, but may also increase morbidity and mortality. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of supraceliac aortic cl...

Perioperative management of a patient with ischemic heart disease with coexisting abdominal aortic aneurysm and pheochromocytoma creates a difficult management dilemma, and surgical intervention in these patients carries a significant risk. The state of catecholamine excess and various other coexisting factors can lead to simultaneous occurrence of abdominal aortic aneurysm and pheocromocytoma....
