Background Early identification of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) may reduce the risk
of death from rupture by providing the opportunity for elective repair. Before a screening …

OBJECTIVES: The present study was undertaken in order to assess the effect of gender on
the growth rate of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). METHODS: One hundred and eighty …

The management of small abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is by ultrasound surveillance.

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

Purpose: Animal and human studies have suggested that beta-blockade may decrease the

Abstract Background The UK Small Aneurysm Trial suggested that female sex is an
independent risk factor for rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). This study assessed …

Background It has been suggested that diabetes medications, such as metformin, may have
effects that inhibit abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) growth. The aim of this study was to …
