Key result
Resection of nonruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms carries an operative death rate of less than 10%, and patients surviving the operation have a near-normal life expectancy.

What are the outcomes and operative techniques for resection of abdominal aortic aneurysms?
Resection of nonruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms has an operative mortality of less than 10% and provides survivors with a near-normal life expectancy.

Supports elective resection of nonruptured AAAs; leaves open optimal techniques and selection in contemporary cohorts.
The operative death rate for resection of nonruptured aneurysm of the abdominal aorta has been reduced to less than 10 percent, but the figure for treatment of ruptured aneurysm has remained high. Long-term follow-up indicates that patients surviving operation have a near-normal life expectancy. Operative technic and postoperative complications are discussed.
