ABDOMINAL AND THORACOABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1998
Most abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) are asymptomatic and are found on physical exam or incidentally during radiological studies for other indications. These aneurysms are repaired primarily because their risk of rupture increases geometrically as the size exceeds 5 cm.

Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2023
Abdominal aortic aneurysms are found in up to 6% of men and 1.7% of women over the age of 65 years and are usually asymptomatic. The natural history of aortic aneurysms is continued dilation leading to rupture, which is associated with an overall 80% mortality.

Infected Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Southern Medical Journal, 1985
In the surgical literature, 37 survivors of infected abdominal aortic aneurysmorrhaphy have been reported. The diagnosis is suspected if a patient with fever, leukocytosis, and abdominal pain is noted on physical examination to have a pulsatile abdominal mass. Confirmation is best obtained with computerized tomography and angiography.

Genetics of abdominal aortic aneurysm

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2013
Family history is a risk factor for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), suggesting that genetic factors play an important role in AAA development, growth and rupture. Identification of these factors could improve understanding of the AAA pathogenesis and be useful to identify at risk individuals.Many approaches are used to examine genetic determinants of ...

Vitamins and abdominal aortic aneurysm

International Angiology, 2017
To summarize the association of vitamins (B6, B12, C, D, and E) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), we reviewed clinical studies with a comprehensive literature research and meta-analytic estimates.To identify all clinical studies evaluating the association of vitamins B6/B12/C/D/E and AAA, databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central

Pharmacotherapy of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Current Vascular Pharmacology, 2006
Aortic aneurysms account for 10,000 deaths annually in the UK, due to rupture. At present the only effective therapeutic strategy to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms is to surgically repair them; this carries an elective mortality of up to 10%. Recent advances in vascular biology have led to a greater understanding of the pathophysiological process ...

Infected Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Southern Medical Journal, 1987
We report five cases of infected abdominal aortic aneurysm managed at the St. Thomas Hospital between 1975 and 1985. Two patients died, one before operation, and another during surgical repair of aneurysmal rupture. Three patients survived, all of whom had primary repair of the aorta or in situ Dacron graft reconstruction.

Resection of abdominal aortic aneurysms

The American Journal of Surgery, 1968
Abstract 1. 1. Sixty-eight aneurysms of the abdominal aorta were resected with an operative mortality of 13.2 per cent and a late mortality of 22 per cent. 2. 2. Mortality is increased by advanced age especially when two or more degenerative diseases accompany the aneurysm. 3. 3.

Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysms

Clinical Imaging, 2016
Ultrasonography remains the screening modality of choice for abdominal aortic aneurysms despite many advances in imaging modalities. Several randomized trials were performed that demonstrated the effectiveness of ultrasound-based screening to reduce aneurysm-related mortality. Ultrasound is both cost effective and low risk.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm.

The Journal of cardiovascular surgery, 2016
Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms has become a milestone in the treatment of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm. Technological improvement allows treatment in more and more complex cases. This review summarizes all grafts available on the market. A complete review of most important trial on this topic is provided to the best of our
