Failure to rescue and mortality after reoperation for abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
J Vasc Surg. 2011; (2): 346-51; discussion 351-2
Complications after abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair resulting in reintervention increase mortality risk, but have not been well studied. Mortality after reintervention is termed failure to rescue and may reflect differences related to quality management of the complication. This study describes the relationship between reoperation and mortality and examines the effect of physician speciality on reintervention rates and failure to rescue after AAA repair.
