Abstract
BACKGROUND
We aim to decrease mortality and morbidity by early diagnosis and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) or by using open surgery.
METHODS
The patients who had underwent open surgery and EVAR with a diagnosis of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms were evaluated retrospectively. Patients with EVAR were separated as group I and the patients with surgical operations constituted group II. The risk factors, duration of the operation, blood product usage, drainage amounts, complications, mortality, and morbidity rates were evaluated.
RESULTS
The duration of the operation and the required blood and blood products were lower in group I (P < .05). There is no any significant difference between the groups in terms of mortality, complications, short-, and long-term results.
CONCLUSION
We support the idea that better results can be obtained by showing regard to suitable patient, suitable clinical condition, and suitable anatomy together with the correct choice of operation type.
