Abdominal aortic reconstruction helped patients by extending their life and improving the life expectancy. Mortality rates related to elective surgery are approximately 5% at the best centers, rising to 40-60% in urgent surgery. Objective: The aim of this study is to: assess the postoperative complication and mortality rate of 119 patients who had abdominal aortic reconstruction. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study that carried out on 119 consecutive patients with atherosclerotic vascular disorders who underwent operation for abdominal aortic aneurysm and chronic atherosclerotic occlusive disease, between 1994 to 2004. The medical record of patients who underwent operation for abdominal aortic aneurysm and chronic atherosclerotic occlusive disease between 1994 to 2004 were collected. 119 surgeries were performed by one surgeon. Evaluating of risk factors, death and postoperative outcome (during the first 30 days) was performed base on usual methods. Data were analyzed according to standard health system research, Epi 3.3.2 and SPSS-10 comparative analysis through student test and chi-square test. Results: During 30 days after surgery, mortality rates were 6.7% in elective surgery and 22% in urgent surgery (p }, URL = {http://journal.gums.ac.ir/article-1-378-en.html}, eprint = {http://journal.gums.ac.ir/article-1-378-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Guilan University of Medical Sciences}, doi = {}, year = {2007} }
