The results of surgical treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm: influence and evaluation of comorbidities, demographic and surgical risk factors /

Aim of the study was to analyze the influence of comorbidities, demographic and surgical risk factors on early and late results of non-ruptured and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. In the introduction the aim of the study and objectives are listed. In the review of the literature main problems of pending topic are analyzed. The methodology is described in a special chapter. The results of 373 patients’ surgical treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm were analyzed. Eighty-four of them were operated due to the abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture. Follow-up results of 153 patients were analyzed in a special chapter. The influence of comorbidities, demographic and surgical risk factors on mortality and complication rate after operations for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm were assessed. Analysis of follow-up results clarified risk factors influencing survival after operation of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Assessment of the results showed that mean age of patients is lower and comorbidities is more severe as compared with the data presented for Western countries. The patients’ age, condition of cardiac and pulmonary systems, volume of operation were the most influencing risk factors on the outcome of surgical treatment of the abdominal aortic aneurysm.
