Objective The objective of this study was to summarize the literature regarding the effects of
renin-angiotensin system blockade (RASB) using angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors …

Objective Whether angiotensin II blockade is an effective medical treatment for abdominal
aortic aneurysms (AAAs) has not been established. This systematic review and meta …

Background The best medical therapy to control hypertension following abdominal aortic
aneurysm repair is yet to be determined. We therefore examined whether treatment with …

Objective—The renin–angiotensin system is thought to play a pivotal role in the
pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). However, effects of angiotensin …

Background The main determinants of survival following abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
repair are preexisting risk factors rather than the method of repair chosen. The main aim of …

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) refers to localized dilation of abdominal
aorta. AAA is largely asymptomatic, but aneurysmal rupture results in a high mortality rate …

Objective The long-term outcomes of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
(EVAR) remain to be determined, but patients with aneurysm shrinkage after EVAR appear …

BACKGROUND: The Leapfrog Group established evidence-based standards for abdominal
aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair, including targets for case volume and perioperative β-blocker …

Conclusions Examination of 883 cases of AAA repair showed increased mortality associated
with preoperative RAS blockade. A better understanding of perioperative pharmacology and …

Purpose Rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA) is associated with high mortality.
Use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE‐inhibitors) and angiotensin receptor …
