  • Title: Ruptured arteriosclerotic aneurysms of the abdominal aorta. Reducing mortality.
    Author: Ottinger LW.
    Journal: JAMA; 1975 Jul 14; 233(2):147-50. PubMed ID: 1094142.
    Abstract:
    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.
