[Prospective study of early and late morbidity and mortality in the abdominal aortic aneurysm surgical repair].
To prospectively assess early and late morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing elective surgical repair of abdominal infrarenal aortic aneurysms and to determine the independent predictors of cardiac events. ⋯ Although this is considered a highly complex surgery, mortality is low, the cardiac complications are not very significant, and the patients have a good long-term evolution.
