Objectives: In the course of extensive clinical aortic surgery, we noticed that the aorta was
quite thick and fibrotic in diabetic patients. We thought the diabetic aortic aorta might be …

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm represents a distinct group of vascular lesions, in
terms of surveillance and treatment. Screening and follow-up of patients via duplex …

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 …

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus is a well-defined risk factor for cardiovascular and peripheral
vascular disease, as the abnormal metabolic state increases the risk for atherosclerosis …

For decades, aortic surgery has relied on size criteria for intervention on the ascending
aorta. While diameter has served well, diameter alone falls short of an ideal criterion. Herein …

Introduction Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been proved to contribute to multiple comorbidities
that are risk factors for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Remarkably, evidences from …

Objective The negative correlation between diabetes mellitus (DM) and abdominal aortic
aneurysms (AAAs) is well described. The etiologic similarities and differences between …

Purpose: To summarize the association of diabetes with abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture,
we reviewed currently available studies with a systematic literature search and meta-analytic …

The aorta is the largest artery and can be divided into several segments (Fig 1). The
diaphragm divides the aorta into the thoracic and abdominal aorta. The thoracic aorta …

We performed a meta-analysis to assess the association of diabetes mellitus (DM) with the
presence of thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) and/or thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) …
