ABSTRACT
Introduction: aortic abdominal aneurysm constitutes an entity with a high mortality rate in current times.Objective: to characterize the patients with the diagnosis of aortic abdominal aneurysm in Pinar del Rio province.
Methods: a descriptive, prospective-longitudinal study was conducted with patients having aortic abdominal aneurysms treated in Angiology Service during the period 2013-2017. The target group comprised 70 patients who came for an abdominal ultrasound, they were diagnosed as aortic abdominal aneurysm carriers, and all of them were studied.
Results: patients identified by Imaging Department reached the 58,56 %; male sex predominated (95,7 %), as risk factors prevailed smokers (90 %) and hypertensive patients (85,7 %). Aneurysmal sac growth was observed in relation to hypertension; and there was no increase in diameter in 44,3 % of patients; 7,15 % of the patients underwent surgery, 100 % were patients with an initial diameter greater than 5 cm.
Conclusions: aortic abdominal aneurysms were common in male patients past the fourth decade of life, occurring mainly in smokers and hypertensive patients. Radiology department was the main source of referral. Early identification and timely treatment are determinant elements for a positive outcome of this disease.
