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

Purpose: Whether small abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs)(≤ 5 cm in diameter) should be
repaired early to enhance late survival remains controversial. Long-term population-based …

Background: The long-term fate of very small abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is not well
known. Methods: Forty-one patients with asymptomatic small AAA (range 25 to 40 mm) …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to clarify the treatment of patients with small
abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) less than 5 cm in diameter and those believed to be …

Background The aim was to determine the optimum rescreening interval for small abdominal
aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Methods Data from 12 years of population screening of 65-year …

We report our experience with 73 patients who were initially selected for nonoperative
management of an abdominal aortic aneurysm less than 5 cm in diameter. Size of the …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a common—but preventable—cause of death in elderly men;
4% of men at the age of 65 years have an aorta> 3 cm in diameter. Continued expansion …

Background Surveillance is a common management strategy for small abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA)(3· 0–5· 4 cm in diameter). Individual characteristics, other than diameter …

BACKGROUND: To study the propranolol treatment of small abdominal aortic aneurysms
(AAA) concerning intention to treat, side effects, and inhibition of expansion. METHODS …

Background This study aimed to retrospectively demonstrate the growth rate (mm/year) of
abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) diameters (ADs) and to analyze risk factors for AAA …
