Patients diagnosed with an Abdominal Aorta Aneurism who undergo an operation using either conventional surgery or endovascular surgery require a series of different nursing treatment. The authors comparatively analyze nursing treatment applied to patients who have undergone an abdominal aorta aneurism according to the technique used; their study is retrospective, observational and comparative for all 61 patients who underwent an abdominal aorta aneurism in the Navarre Hospital in 2004. The authors describe both techniques, their advantages and inconveniences, and in a well-developed comparative manner, point out the differences in nursing treatment during post-operative care. Part of this study was presented in a poster format at the XVII National Congress on Vascular Nursing.
