but there has been no assessment of how such markers along with clinical risk factors can …

Essentials• D‐dimer could provide important information about abdominal aortic aneurysm
(AAA) progression.• The greatest diameter of the infrarenal aorta and the value of plasma D …

Background Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are currently followed with serial
ultrasound or computed tomography scanning diameter measurements, but evidence shows …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is associated with high morbidity and mortality and is an
established cause of unbalanced hemostasis. A number of hemostatic biomarkers have …

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm represents a distinct group of vascular lesions, in
terms of surveillance and treatment. Screening and follow-up of patients via duplex …

Given the potentially large number of markers that may have been investigated, we carried
out a staged search strategy. First, we performed a general search to identify biomarkers that …

BACKGROUND: Markers of inflammation and fibrin turnover are elevated in individuals with
a large (> 55 mm) abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Fibrin degradation generates D-dimer …

Background Many studies have investigated the systemic and local expression of
biomarkers in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The natural history of AAA …

Aims Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a life-threatening condition due to the risk of aneurysm
growth and rupture. There are no approved diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers for …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in
elderly men, and prevalence is predicted to increase in parallel with a global aging …
