Abstract
The operative death rate for resection of nonruptured aneurysm of the abdominal aorta has been reduced to less than 10 percent, but the figure for treatment of ruptured aneurysm has remained high. Long-term follow-up indicates that patients surviving operation have a near-normal life expectancy. Operative technic and postoperative complications are discussed.
