Abstract:
A follow-up study of 98 patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair for 44 months, ranging 2 to 113 months, revealed no difference in 5-year actuarial survival between patients aged 75 or older and patients aged less than 75. The 5-year actuarial survival of ruptured and nonruptured AAA cases was 469% and 71.2%, respectively (p<0.01). Late deaths after the repair of ruptured AAA were all due to atherosclerotic diseases. During a follow-up period after AAA repair, 9 patients were diagnosed as having malignant diseases with a fatal outcome in 6. Careful attention to atherosclerotic and malignant diseases is indispensable for follow-up management after AAA repair.
