The authors analyzed the changes of intra-abdominal pressure in 28 patients with complicated abdominal aortic aneurysm. The study revealed significantly greater intra-abdominal pressure in patients with rupture of the abdominal aorta than in patients with symptomatic aneurysm. In patients with ruptured aneurysms l–lll degree abdominal hypertension was in 82 % of cases, and among patients with symptomatic aneurysms there was no abdominal hypertension in 64 % of cases, while 36 % had the 1st degree of the disease.
