A member asked:
Do the mortality rates in aortic aneurysm surgery include those that are having emergency surgery for dissections, or how are they broken out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Emergency surgery has its own mortality rate. The stated figure would be for your specific risk factors based on your age, gender, lung and kidney function, heart status, diabetes and other comorbidities, derived from a large data base.
