ABSTRACT

Treatment of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms has been analyzed. From 506 patients (265 emergency and 241 elective cases) treated in the department of urent vascular surgery 36 had "chronic disruptions". Validity of this term is discussed. The authors consider the term "repeated disruption" as the most adequate.
