The operative records of 2816 @entity1 undergoing repair for @entity1028 ( @entity1028 ) from 1955 to 1985 were reviewed. Inflammatory aortic or @entity1029 were present in 127 @entity1 (4.5%), 123 @entity1 and four @entity1 . Most @entity1 were heavy smokers (92.1%). Clinical evidence of peripheral @entity432 and @entity453 was found in 26.6% and 39.4%, respectively. Additional @entity439 occurred in half of the @entity1 ; @entity1029 were the most common (55 @entity1 ), followed by @entity1514 or thoracoabdominal (17 @entity1 ), femoral (16 @entity1 ), and popliteal @entity439 (10 @entity1 ). Ultrasound and computed tomography suggested the diagnosis in 13.5% and 50%, respectively; angiography was not helpful. Excretory urographic findings of medial ureteral displacement or obstruction suggested the diagnosis in 31.4%. The @entity439 was repaired in 126 @entity1 . Only one @entity1 experienced acute @entity1756 , but eight @entity1 had chronic contained leakage. When compared with @entity1 who have ordinary @entity731 , @entity1 with inflammatory @entity439 are significantly more likely to have an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR, 73% vs. 33%, p less than 0.0001); @entity353 (20.5% vs. 10%, p less than 0.05); symptoms (66% vs. 20%, p less than 0.0001); and an increased operative mortality rate (7.9% vs. 2.4%, p less than 0.002). The triad of chronic @entity490 , @entity353 , and elevated ESR in a @entity1 with an @entity1028 is highly suggestive of an inflammatory @entity439 and may be beneficial in the preoperative preparation of the @entity1 for @entity439 repair.
