Moality associated with emergency abdominal aoic surgery is:
10%
20%
40%
>50%
Answer- c. 40%With careful preopetative csrdiac evaluation and postoperative care, the operative moality rate approximates 1-2%.After acute rupture, the moality rate of emergent operation is 45-50%. Endovascular repair with stent placement is an emerging approach but at the current time is associated with a moality rate of approximately 40%.
