Background A substantial proportion of patients with a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm
(rAAA) die outside hospital. The objective of this study was to estimate the total mortality …

Objective Experimental animal models have been used to investigate the formation,
development, and progression of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) for decades. New …

Objective To assess whether a strategy of endovascular repair (if aortic morphology is
suitable, open repair if not) versus open repair reduces early mortality for patients with …

Background—Contemporary data from Western populations suggest steep declines in
abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) mortality; however, international trends are unclear. This …

Background Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening has been introduced into some
health systems and could easily be supplemented with broader vascular screening. The aim …

Objective Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is
increasingly used for emergent treatment of ruptured AAA (rAAA). We sought to compare the …

Objectives Serving as the basis for implementation of several national AAA screening
programmes, four large randomised controlled trials provided evidence of a reduction in …

Background Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) is associated with high mortality.
Research suggests that statins may reduce abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) growth and …

Objective The few randomized trials comparing endovascular with open surgical repair of
ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) were poorly designed and heavily criticized …

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) orchestrate various biological processes and regulate
the development of cardiovascular diseases. Their potential therapeutic benefit to tackle …
