Abstract

Rupture of aortic is for the most part a terminal disorder and requires prompt and aggressive treatment. Most of the patients who develop this condition outside the hospital die before appropriate therapy can be instituted. Thus prompt treatment, sometimes innovative, resulted in a highly significant survival rate. We experionced 21 aortic rupture due to mycotic aneurysm and another 3 due to chest trauma. Operation was done in 11 cases, and mortality was 3 of 11 cases. In another 10 cases, operation was not performed and all of them were expired. We confirmed diagnosis using only non invasive technic as ultrasonogram and computed tomography and invasive technic like aniography was absolutely avoided. Preoperative management was aimed to lower blood pressure for the purpose of preventing srcondary bleeding, and operantions erer porformed promptly if possible.
