Aneurysm of the abdominal aorta: the prognosis of the condition if untreated.

In a study of the autopsies of 87 patients at Cedars of Lebanon and Los Angeles County General hospitals, it was noted that 38 had died from rupture of the aneurysm and 49 had died of unrelated diseases, the aneurysm being intact postmortem. At each age group from 50 to 85 years, just as many patients who had the lesion died from rupture of the aneurysm as from other causes. It was found that predisposing to rupture of the aneurysm was not the age of the patient, not hypertension, but definitely the size of the aneurysm. Aneurysms under 6 cm. in diameter (most are visible by x-ray) rarely ruptured.
