Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm- A Case Report

Introduction: Abdominal aortic aneurysms more commonly affect men than women and are estimated to affect 4% to 8% of men older than age 60 years. Mortality because of a ruptured AAA is high, but elective repair is an effective and relatively safe intervention. Case Presentation: A 69-year-old male patient comes to the outpatient department with a complaint of abdominal pain from 2-3 months back. Interventions- The treatment of patients was started immediately after admission. The surgical repair of Aortic Stent Placement for Pseudoaneurysm was done under general anesthesia on date 12 June 2021. Conclusion: In this report, we mainly focus on expert surgical management and excellent nursing care helped in managing the complicated case very nicely. The patient response was positive to conservative and nursing management. The patient was discharged without postoperative complications and satisfactory with recovery.

Background The current advancement and increasing use of diagnostic imaging has led to increased detection of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Many of these patients are unfit for elective AAA surgery. Aim To investigate the outcome of conservative management of unfit patients with large AAA (>5.5 cm) who are turned down for elective surgical intervention. Patients and methods Between January 2006 and April 2017, 457 patients presented with AAA >5.5 cm. Seventy-six patients (M: F 54:22) were deemed unfit for elective repair. Mean age was 79.8 years (range 64–96). Mean AAA size was 60.22 mm (55–83). Results Forty-nine of the 76 patients (64%) had died by April 2017. Fifteen (19.7%) patients died directly because of their aneurysm rupture. A further 34 (44.7%) patients died from non-aneurysm-related causes. Conclusion Patients with large AAA deemed unfit for elective surgery have an overall poor prognosis and die mainly from other causes than AAA. Surgical intervention when rupture occurs results in poor survival.
