Abstract:
Objective To explore the surgical management for acute cases of aortic diseases. Methods The clinical data of 18 acute cases of thoracoabdominal aortic diseases were analysed retrospectively. Results This study included ruptured thoracoabdominal aortic dissection of 15 cases and open wound of the abdominal aorta of 3 cases. There were 15 males and 3 females, with mean age of 42.7 years. Eight patients were received open emergent operation, and the other 10 cases underwent endovascular procedure. The mortality was 11.1% (2/18). Follow-up from 2 months to 3 years revealed all patients in a good condition. Conclusions In cases of emergent aortic diseases, endoluminal technique is simple, mini-invasive and safe. However, open surgery is still mandatory and effective especially when endovascular procedure is not indicated or failed.
