Abstract

Introduction: Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) is a catastrophic condition with in-hospital mortalities up to 89%. Patient survival depends on multiple factors; however, prompt surgery is essential to prevent mortality. We report the in-hospital outcomes of RAAA at a high-volume and teaching vascular surgery center in Iran. Methods: This study is a single-center retrospective analysis of patients with infrarenal RAAA during February 20, 2012 to December 21, 2019 at Shohada-Tajrish Medical Center, Tehran,Iran. We identified 66 patients with RAAA during the study period. The patients were dividedinto two groups based on their transfer status (Transfer group versus non-transfer group). The primary outcome was in-hospital death. The secondary outcomes were in-hospital myocardial infarction (MI), abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) and postoperative renal dysfunction requiring dialysis. Results: The mean age of the patients was 74.2 ± 8.3 years. Forty-seven patients (71.2%) were transferred to our center from other institutions. There were 46 in-hospital deaths (69.7%) and three in-hospital MIs (4.5%). Three patients (4.5%) had postoperative ACS and six patients (9.1%)had postoperative renal dysfunction requiring dialysis. Transfer patients had an increased rate of in-hospital death compared to non-transferred patients (76.6.1% versus 52.6%); however, the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.055). Conclusion: We found no significant different between operative mortality of transferred and non-transferred RAAA patients. Transfer of patients to tertiary centers with experienced vascular surgeons may delay the surgery. However, the transfer may be inevitable in areas where the optimal care of RAAA patients is not possible.
