AbstractThe pathology, clinical features, indications for surgery and the results of intrathoracic aneurysm are analysed in thirty-nine consecutive patients who underwent surgery at Singapore General Hospital from January 1986 through December 1990. There were twenty cases of non-dissecting aneurysm and nineteen cases of dissecting aneurysm or aortic dissection. The 30 day survival for the twenty patients with non-dissecting aneurysm was sixteen patients (80%). The best results were obtained in patients with aortic root aneurysms. The overall 30-day survival for the nineteen patients with aortic dissection was twelve patients (64%). The mortality was especially high in patients with acute aortic dissection (46%). Recent advances in the management of these aneurysms make early recognition and diagnosis mandatory to achieve the best results.
