Abstract
Long‐term survival was assessed after the repair of non‐ruptured (n = 311) and ruptured (n = 227) abdominal aortic aneurysm. Follow‐up was 94.2 per cent complete, and the overall survival rate at 8 years was 43.6 per cent. There was no significant difference in 8‐year survival rates between patients with non‐ruptured (45.2 per cent) and ruptured (40.5 per cent) aneurysms. The survival curves were also compared with that for an age‐ and sex‐matched population derived from Scottish Home and Health Department data.
