ABDOMINAL AND THORACOABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM [PDF]

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.

Prevention of Incisional Hernias by Prophylactic Mesh-augmented Reinforcement of Midline Laparotomies for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Treatment: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Annals of Surgery, 2016
Background:The incidence of incisional hernias after abdominal aortic aneurysm repair is high. Prophylactic mesh-augmented reinforcement during laparotomy closure has been proposed in patients at high risk of incisional hernia.

Long-term outcomes and factors influencing late survival following elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair: A 24-year experience

Vascular, 2016
Background Abdominal aortic aneurysms can be either treated by an open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair or an endovascular repair. Comparing clinical predictors of outcomes and those which influence survival rates in the long term is important in ...

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 2001
Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a chronic dilation of the aorta with a natural history toward enlargement and rupture. Its pathogenesis is believed to be multifactorial and complex. Clinical presentation may be asymptomatic, symptomatic, or as rupture.

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 ...

Systematic review of cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular death in patients with a small abdominal aortic aneurysm

British Journal of Surgery, 2015
Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has reduced the rate of AAA rupture. However, cardiovascular disease is still a major cause of death in men with an AAA. The aim of this study was to assess cardiovascular risk in patients with a small AAA.

‘Inflammatory’ abdominal aortic aneurysms

Clinical Radiology, 1988
The term 'inflammatory aneurysm' is used to describe a variant of atherosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysms in which the wall of the aneurysm is unusually thick and surrounded by extensive fibrosis and adhesions. Repair of these aneurysms is associated with a higher mortality and morbidity than repair of those which are non-inflammatory, so that ...

Advanced complicated diabetes mellitus is associated with a reduced risk of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture: a population‐based cohort study

Diabetes/Metabolism Research Reviews, 2015
Studies have associated diabetes mellitus (DM) with the reduced risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm and thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection. We used the national insurance data of Taiwan to examine these correlations for an Asian population.
