Abdominal aortic aneurysm poses a significant risk of rupture, with mortality rates of 80% to 90% if untreated. Management focuses on identifying and repairing the aneurysm before rupture, considering factors like size, type and symptoms. We report successful anaesthetic management in a case of intertrochanteric fracture of femur of an elderly patient who was to undergo elective surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysm. Few cases detail abdominal aortic aneurysm management during non-cardiac surgery, emphasising careful anaesthesia titration. This case report underscores the importance of precise intraoperative anaesthesia management in emergency non-cardiac surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysm patients.

This study discusses disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) associated with solid cancers and various vascular abnormalities, both of which generally exhibit chronic DIC patterns. Solid cancers are among the most significant underlying diseases that induce DIC. However, the severity, bleeding tendency, and progression of DIC vary considerably depending on the type and stage of the cancer, making generalization difficult.

Background: Contrary to the impact of screening, the effect of long-term surveillance on the quality of life of patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm is not well known. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe patient-reported outcomes of patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm approaching the surgical threshold.
Methods: This multicentre, observational cohort study included patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm with a maximum aneurysm diameter of greater than or equal to 40 mm.

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, Liverpool, UK.
Background: Acute type A aortic dissection is a life-threatening clinical emergency that necessitates immediate surgical intervention with an estimated mortality rate of approximately 1-2% per hour. When complicated by malperfusion, the perioperative mortality rate is reported to be increased by up to 39%. Malperfusion can affect many vascular beds with varying incidence and severity, resulting in coronary, cerebral, visceral, peripheral, renal or spinal malperfusion.

Hybrid repair of complex aortic arch disease typically requires aortic debranching to create a proximal landing zone for completion arch endografting. Despite advances in endograft technology, physician-modified endografting may be required to customize a prosthesis for challenging anatomy. We present a case of a complex distal arch aneurysm after a prior coarctation repair with a pediatric interposition graft several decades earlier, treated with hybrid repair by double transposition for arch debranching and physician-modified arch endografting for complete aneurysm exclusion.
