BACKGROUND: In spite of the progress in diagnosis and treatment of @entity1755 ( @entity1755 ) the mortality rate still remains very high (varying from 15% to 50% according to various experiences). This study is aimed at analyzing the relative contribution of preoperative hemodynamic conditions and of operative and postoperative factors to outcome of @entity1 operated on for @entity1755 . METHODS: For this purpose a retrospective case series involving 152 @entity1 operated on in emergency for @entity1755 , during the period 1990-1994, has been reviewed. In this group we examined the site of @entity397 , the size of the @entity439 , the presence or not of a shock condition at admission, the existence of inflammatory aspects, the adopted type of prosthesis. RESULTS: The mortality rate was 24.3% (37 @entity1 ). In 10 @entity1 (27%) the cause of @entity204 was an irreversible @entity548 . Eight @entity1 (21.6%) died for an @entity1188 . In 7 @entity1 the fatal outcome was due to the development of an @entity810 . Five @entity1 (13.5%) underwent an acute @entity583 and other five a multiorgan failure. Two @entity1 (5.5%) eventually died for @entity1576 . CONCLUSIONS: The results of our study seem to confirm that the outcome of @entity1 affected by @entity397 of @entity1028 depends not only on the preoperative hemodynamic condition but also on the expertise of the surgical team.
