A comparative study on the medium-long term results of endovascular repair and open surgical repair in the management of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Background: Although it is generally acknowledged that patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) obtain the greatest benefit from endovascular repair (EVAR), convincing evidence on the medium-long term effect is lacking. The aim of this study was to compare and summarize published results of rAAA that underwent EVAR with open surgical repair (OSR).

Methods: A search of publicly published literature was performed.

[Correlation of hemoglobin concentration with the diameter of abdominal aortic aneurysm and long-term patient survival].

Objective: To assessed the relationships between hemoglobin concentration from the patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and its diameter as well as patients' long-term survival.

Methods: Between January 2002 to June 2012, 255 AAA patients were reviewed retrospectively. The outcomes were compared between 3 groups of different treatments (excluding 20 cases dead within 30 days).
