Abstract

A ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) is a surgical emergency that requires prompt diagnosis and intervention. Recent guidelines have recommended a door-to-intervention time of ≤90 minutes. Although several reports have suggested that treatment modalities and outcomes for intact AAAs vary among racial groups, a paucity of literature has assessed the scope of this disparity among patients with rAAAs. Thus, we evaluated the effect of race on the timing of rAAA repair and whether this disparity affects postoperative outcomes.
