Key result
Resection of ruptured atherosclerotic aneurysms of the abdominal aorta resulted in a 58% mortality rate, with delayed diagnosis and specific clinical signs contributing to lethality.
Observational (n=100)
Mortality for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm resection is high (58%) and is exacerbated by delayed diagnosis leading to preoperative hypotension, cardiac arrest, anuria, and free rupture.

Diagnostic delays heighten mortality in ruptured AAA resection; leaves open optimal early-detection protocols.
Mortality in 100 patients undergoing resection of ruptured atherosclerotic aneurysms of the abdominal aorta was 58%. In addition to advanced age and concurrent cardiac disease, lethal factors included preoperative hypotension, cardiac arrest, anuria, and free intra-abdominal rupture. Failure to establish the correct diagnosis until the onset of these four signs contributed to the high mortality. (JAMA233:147-150, 1975)

L. W. Ottinger (1975) conducted an observational in Ruptured atherosclerotic aneurysms of the abdominal aorta (n=100). Resection of ruptured atherosclerotic aneurysms of the abdominal aorta was evaluated on Mortality. Resection of ruptured atherosclerotic aneurysms of the abdominal aorta resulted in a 58% mortality rate, with delayed diagnosis and specific clinical signs contributing to lethality.
