A population based screening of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA)

European Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1991
The prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in a defined population of elderly men and its correlation to some risk factors were studied in the population cohort "men born in 1914 from Malmö". A total of 499 were invited to attend and 375 (75%) did so.

Treatment Options for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)

2007
This chapter will focus on how to deal with AAA from a practical point of view and also give hints on how to cor- rect some of the complications that may occur. The two principal options to treat AAA are by: (1) open repair or (2) endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).

A rabbit model of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA)

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 2004
Abstract Introduction: The rat elastase model of AAA is well established and useful for studying the early events in AAA formation. Development of a physiologic large animal model that reliably produces AAA expansion will allow in vivo testing of endovascular devices.

Continuing Professional Development: Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)

Journal of Paramedic Practice, 2011
Overview An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a localized dilatation of the abdominal aorta resulting from degenerative cardiovascular disease. Such aneurysmal arteries pose few problems for many patients and are simply monitored and managed conservatively within the community. However, the ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm is a time-critical medical

Minimal incision approach for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair

International Journal of Angiology, 2005
To evaluate the appropriate use of the minimal incision aortic surgery (MIAS) approach in nonruptured infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair, we prospectively compared the MIAS approach with the transperitoneal approach (TPA). Eighteen patients in whom the MIAS was used and 18 who had the TPA during the same period were included in this ...

Computed tomography-detected abnormalities following conventional abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair

Cardiovascular Surgery, 2002
To determine how time since the operation influences vascular abnormalities following conventional infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair.In 47 patients computed tomography was performed 1 to 12 years following the aneurysm repair. Aortic diameters at different levels were measured and other abnormalities recorded.Significant correlation was

[Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) after abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) open repair].

Annali italiani di chirurgia, 2010
The Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS) is a "condition in which increased tissue pressure in a confined anatomic space, causes decreased blood flow leading to ischaemia and organic dysfunction and may lead to permanent impairment of function".Between June 2007 and June 2008 all patients recovered to our Institution for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)
