Objectives: to review the natural history and the outcome of surgical repair of aortic
abdominal aneurysm (AAA). Design: an English and Scandinavian language search of …

There is now sufficient published evidence to describe with confidence much but not all of
the natural history of AAA. AAA of 4.0–5.5 cm in diameter have a rupture rate of 0.7–1.0 …

Purpose To assess the CT features of sealed rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Patients
and methods We reviewed the CT scans of six index cases obtained over a 3 year period …

Purpose: To identify the predictive risk factors for rupture of thoracoabdominal aortic
aneurysms (TAA). Methods: Thirty-one patients with TAA who did not have the indications for …

Objective To test whether aneurysm biomechanical ratio (ABR; a dimensionless ratio of wall
stress and wall strength) can predict aneurysm related events. Methods In a prospective …

OBJECTIVES:: Literature on the expansion rate of infrarenal aortic aneurysm is scant. This
review was carried out to assess whether there is a normal rate of expansion for infrarenal …

Rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) represents a significant clinical event, having a
mortality rate of 90% and being currently ranked as the 13th leading cause of death in the …

Importance Because of the high mortality rate after rupture of small abdominal aortic
aneurysms (AAAs), surveillance is recommended to detect aneurysm expansion; however …

After successful surgical repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, patients have for many
years an increased risk of death from cardiovascular causes. We have tested the hypothesis …

BACKGROUND: Despite the fact that abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is asymptomatic in
the vast majority of cases, sudden rupture with a fatal outcome may still occur. Early planned …
