Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Repair Mortality
The abdominal aorta is the major blood vessel from the heart that supplies blood to most of the major organs and the legs. Surgery is usually performed to prevent rupture of a ballooning vessel (aneurysm). Patients requiring this procedure usually have disease of other major vessels as well, which may lead to stroke or heart attack during or after the major surgery required to repair the abdominal aorta. This surgery usually is performed by surgeons who specialize in repair of blood vessels, and at hospitals where other specialists are available to deal with the expected complications. The type of aneurysm and other patient-related factors greatly affect the mortality rate for this procedure. It is not certain that administrative data always contain enough information to account for these factors.
