Abstract

During the period January 1985 to May 1993, 129 patients were hospitalized for abdominal aortic aneurysms at the hospital in Haugesund. Of these patients, 93 underwent surgery at our hospital. Acute operations were performed in 33 patients with a perioperative (30 days) mortality of 45%. 60 patients underwent elective surgery with no perioperative (30 days) mortality. 14 patients were sent to a regional/university hospital. For various reasons, 22 patients were not operated on.
