Fatores de morbimortalidade na cirurgia eletiva do aneurisma da aorta abdominal infra-renal: experiência de 134 casos

Abstract: CONTEXTO: O tratamento cirúrgico convencional do aneurisma da aorta abdominal (AAA) infra-renal pode resultar em complicações graves. A fim de otimizar os resultados na evolução do tratamento, é importante que sejam identificados os pacientes predispostos a determinadas complicações e instituídas condutas preventivas. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a taxa de mortalidade operatória precoce, analisar as complicações pós-operatórias e identificar os fatores de risco relacionados com a morbimortalidade. MÉTODO: Foram analisad… Show more

“…Regarding the topography of POAD, and in accordance with the findings of Carvalho et al 33 , in the present study we between the low level of HDL cholesterol and the risk of aortic aneurysm. In that same study, the authors observed that the risk of developing AAA was 40% lower in individuals with high serum HDL.…”

“…Concerning the clinical signs, we observe that the vast majority of our patients was asymptomatic (77.4%) in the moment of diagnosis, a fact already described by other authors 4,9,16,19,28,[32][33][34][35][36] . Concordantly with the studies of Molnar et al 29 and Puech-Leão et al 3 , in which the abdominal palpation only detected 33% and 60% of the screened aneurysms respectively, we also demonstrate a low sensitivity of the physical examination for the AAA detection (47%), reinforcing the importance of an imagingbased exam in the diagnosis of these individuals.…”
