Abstract

In the United States each year there are about 15,000 deaths directly related to abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) [1]; 62% may die outside the hospital from rupture of their aneurysms; the overall mortality is 90% [2]. In the year 1984 in patients with ruptured aneurysms, hospitals lost some $24,000 per patient [3]. If repaired electively, 2,000 patients were saved per year and annual costs were $50 million in 1984 [4]. Elective repair is indicated when aneurysms are 5 cm in diameter or greater and may lead up to 20% mortality if the patients have comorbid diseases [5, 6], Now add thoracic aneurysms, aortic dissections, and transections to the picture and the same as stated previously can be staggering.
