Implication

High mortality persists in ruptured AAA despite expanded surgical selection; leaves open the need for adjunctive strategies and prospective trials.

Structured PICO

What are the trends in operative mortality and surgical management for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm over a 12-year period?

P
Population
1144 patients who underwent (attempted) repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), including 514 patients (418 male, 96 female) who had an operation for ruptured AAA.
I
Intervention
Surgical repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm
O
Outcome
Operative mortality ratehard clinical

Despite an increase in the proportion of patients undergoing surgery for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, the operative mortality rate remained high at 35.0% without significant improvement over a 12-year period.
