Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) causes∼ 170 000 deaths annually worldwide. Most
guidelines recommend asymptomatic small AAAs (30 to< 50 mm in women; 30 to< 55 mm in …

The aim of this collaborative document is to provide an update for clinicians on best
antithrombotic strategies in patients with aortic and/or peripheral arterial diseases …

Objective A meta-analysis of the association between metformin prescription and abdominal
aortic aneurysm (AAA) growth and events (rupture or surgical repair) was performed …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture is an important cause of death in older adults. In
clinical practice, the most established predictor of AAA rupture is maximum AAA diameter …

Objective The aim of this study was to assess whether aortic peak wall stress (PWS) and
peak wall rupture index (PWRI) were associated with the risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm …

The role of intraluminal thrombus (ILT) in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) development
has been controversial for decades, yet the researchers and clinicians agree that thrombus …

Objective We attempted to measure maximum transverse diameter (MTD) of and CT values
of ILT by using multi-spiral computed tomography angiography (MSCTA) to investigate the …

Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including myocardial infarction (MI), stroke
and cardiovascular death, cause substantial morbidity and mortality. This review assessed …

Background: An intraluminal, non-occlusive thrombus (ILT) is a common feature in an
abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). This study investigated the relative progression of ILT vs …

The current stratification model of aneurysm rupture seems to be insufficient in some clinical
cases. In our study, we determined the differences in wall structure between ruptured and …
