RESUMO
Objective: To summarize the experience in the management of acute abdominal aortic occlusion and myonephropathic metabolic syndrome. Methods: Thirty two cases of acute abdominal aortic occlusion treated between Aug. 1987 and Aug. 2003 in this department were analyzed retrospectively. Results: There were 11 deaths in surgical group (36 6%), mainly due to acute renal failure, metabolic acidosis and hyperkalemia postoperatively. Conclusion: Acute abdominal aortic occlusion is a potentially lethal disease, which would lead to limb. Early diagnosis and surgical restoration of aortic circulation might be helpful decrease the morbidity and mortality. The effective management of myonephropathic metabolic syndrome (MNMS), a common and severe complication of AAO would have a great impact on the therapeutic outcome. However, the mechanism, prevention and treatment of this syndrome further study.
