C12: Contemporary Issues in the Management of Ruptured Aortic Aneurysms

Thursday, June 20, 2024
1:30 PM – 3:00 PM CT
Location: West Building, Level 1, W183a

Summary: Management of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (RAAA) has evolved over time with the introduction of new surgical techniques. However, RAAA continues to be a highly fatal condition with a wide range of presentations, operative and hospital courses, and outcomes. In addition, much of the discussion of RAAA in the recent past has been on the surgical treatment method, ie open vs endovascular repair. Recently, more attention has been paid to adjunctive issues including regionalization and transfer, operative volume/outcome associations, anesthesia administration, protocolization, and pathophysiology including multiple organ failure and scoring systems for risk prediction. RAAA are one of the biggest most time-critical emergencies faced by nearly all practicing vascular surgeons.

Objectives: The objective of this session will be to educate on current surgical and non-surgical issues in the management of RAAA and provide discussion on surgical, policy, and institutional avenues for improvement.
