Does elective resection with contemporary perioperative management improve 5-year survival in patients over 70 years of age with abdominal aortic aneurysms?
Absolute Event Rate: 67% vs 69%
Elective resection of abdominal aortic aneurysms in patients over 70, when combined with aggressive perioperative management, yields a 5-year survival rate comparable to the normal population.
Bernstein et al. (1988) conducted a cohort in Abdominal aortic aneurysms (n=123). Elective abdominal aortic aneurysm resection vs. Normal population was evaluated on 5-year life-table survival probability in patients over 70 years old. Elective abdominal aortic aneurysm resection in properly selected patients over 70 years old achieved a 5-year survival probability of 67%, approaching the 69% survival of the normal population.
