Objective The maximal aortic diameter is currently the only clinically applied predictor of
abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) progression. It is known that the risk of rupture is …

Background Vascular calcification is a common finding in abdominal aortic aneurysms
(AAA) however whether it predicts aneurysm expansion is controversial. Objectives 1) To …

Objectives Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a major cause of death in developed
countries. The AAA diameter is still the only validated prognostic measure for rupture, and …

BACKGROUND: Calcification of the aortic wall has been used as an index of the degree of
complicated atherosclerotic plaque formation. Atherosclerosis in the abdominal aorta in …

Background: When the maximal diameter of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) exceeds a
threshold, the likelihood of catastrophic rupture increases markedly. Therefore, surveillance …

BACKGROUND: The biomechanical properties of the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) wall
may hold predictive potential. This study aims to study the potential role of wall calcification …

Objective. The pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is complex and different
factors, including calcification, are linked to increased complications. This study was …

We read with great interest the recent publication by Dr. Lindholt [1]. In this study the severity
of aortic calcification was inversely correlated with the growth rate of small abdominal aortic …

Background An anatomic severity grade (ASG) score to categorize and to define anatomic
factors for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair was proposed. Other studies have …

Background: Variable imaging methods may add important information about abdominal
aortic aneurysm (AAA) progression. The aim of this study is to assess available literature …
