Background: The present study was carried out in order to examine those factors that
influence the rate of expansion of small abdominal aortic aneurysms. Methods: A …

The purpose of this study was to determine the factors influencing enlargement rate of small
abdominal aortic aneurysms. Fifty-seven high-risk patients with asymptomatic abdominal …

Seventy-three patients with small (< 6 cm in diameter) abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs)
were selected for nonoperative management and followed up with sequential ultrasound …

Fifty patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms from 2.5 to 5.0 cm in anteroposterior diameter
(median 3.1 cm, mean±se 3.3±0.1 cm) were initially offered non-operative treatment. Two …

Background. Approximately 50% of patients who have a ruptured abdominal aortic
aneurysm will die. To identify those patients who may be at high risk for rupture, we …

This study examines the rate of expansion of abdominal aortic aneurysms and the risk of
rupture in relation to their size. To assess these variables, we conducted a prospective study …

OBJECTIVE: Evidence regarding the influence of cardiovascular risk factors, comorbidities,
and patient characteristics on the growth of small abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA) expansion may be slowed by ß-adrenergic antagonists. Methods: One …

A policy of utilizing B-mode ultrasound scan measurements of abdominal aortic aneurysms
to help determine operability in poor-risk patients with small asymptomatic aneurysms has …

One hundred and six patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) of 2.5 to 3.9 cm in
anteroposterior diameter were reexamined by ultrasound every 6 months for up to 3 years …
