Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are local dilations of infrarenal segment of aortas.
Molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of AAA remain not fully clear. However …

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a localized dilatation of the infrarenal aorta. AAA is a
multifactorial disease, and genetic and environmental factors play a part; smoking, male sex …

BACKGROUND: Short-term survival benefits of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR)
compared with open repair (OR) of intact abdominal aortic aneurysms have been shown in …

Apelin is a potent inodilator with recently described antiatherogenic properties. We
hypothesized that apelin might also attenuate abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation …

BACKGROUND: A modest (41%) reduction in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) growth rate
is likely to delay AAA-related events (surgery or rupture) by 5 years, making the notion of …

A 72-year-old man is found to have an abdominal aortic aneurysm that is 5.7 cm in diameter,
and endovascular repair is considered. The use of an abdominal aortic stent–graft for repair …

Background The aim was to investigate the effects of statin therapy on abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA) disease. Methods PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase and …

AIM: First we aimed to assess the reproducibility of a computer tomography angiography
(CTA) based technique for measuring infra-renal aortic volume and diameter. Second we …

PURPOSE: To validate the reproducibility and accuracy of a software dedicated to measure
abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) diameter, volume and growth over time. MATERIALS AND …

Background Management of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) relies on surgical repair of
larger AAAs. Consequently medical interventions inhibiting AAA progression could greatly …
