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 …

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

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 …

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 …

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 …

The management of small abdominal aortic aneurysms less than 5.0 cm maximum diameter
remains controversial particularly in patients who are medically fit. All patients referred with …

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 …

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 …

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 …
