What are the mortality outcomes of surgical management in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms?
Surgical management of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms was associated with a 42% hospital mortality over a 10-year period, with improvements seen in the latter half of the study.
Graham et al. (1971) studied this question.
