Revisión sistemática de procedimientos quirúrgicos usados para tratar patología aórtica en México.

INTRODUCTION

In Mexico, there are no appropriate statistical data on aortic disease, which can be treated with medical management or open or endovascular surgical approach.

OBJECTIVE

To carry out a systematic search and review of the literature in electronic databases with regard to invasive management of aortic pathology in Mexico.

METHOD

A systematic search and narrative review of available literature was carried out using different electronic databases: PubMed, Imbiomed, Clinical Key, Bibliat, Scielo, Sage Journals and Sciencedirect, as well as with the Google Scholar search engine.

RESULTS

Ninety articles were found, out of which only 53 met the inclusion criteria. Observational studies and case reports were selected, emphasizing on patient demographics, clinical results, and 30-day postoperative survival.

CONCLUSION

An elevated rate of complications is reported for aortic pathologies due to underdiagnosis, which results in management being more complicated and prognosis unfavorable. The creation of a national aortic disease registry is crucial to standardization in the approach and optimization of results.
