“Atherosclerotic” abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) occur with the greatest frequency in
the distal aorta. The unique hemodynamic environment of this area predisposes it to site …

BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) disease is an insidious condition with an
85% chance of death after rupture. Ultrasound screening can reduce mortality, but its use is …

Background The aim was to estimate long-term mortality benefits and cost-effectiveness of
screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in men aged 64–73 years. Methods All men …

BACKGROUND: The contribution of hereditary and environmental factors to the
development of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is still partly unknown. The aim of this …

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 …

Background This retrospective analysis of prospectively collected abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA) screening data aimed to identify predictors of AAA-related events (surgery …

PURPOSE: It remains unclear whether population-based screening for abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA) in men reduces all-cause long-term mortality. We performed an updated …

OBJECTIVE: In principle, superiority of computational wall stress analyses compared with
the maximum diameter criterion for rupture risk evaluation of abdominal aortic aneurysm …

Vascular surgery has been widely practiced in hospitals within a general surgical service,
although the consequent workload of individual vascular units has been small. There is an …
