A Markov decision analysis model to aid the vascular surgeon in the management of a patient with an asymptomatic infra-renal abdominal aortic aneurysm [PDF]
Introduction Despite increasing evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of endovascular (EVAR) and open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, it is often unclear which technique is most appropriate for an individual patient.

Vertebral erosion due to chronic rupture of aneurismatic abdominal aorta [PDF]
Introduction. Extremely rarely, the evolution of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) includes the phase when extravasations of the blood from a ruptured aneurysm is contained by the surrounding tissue, referred to as chronic (contained) rupture of the AAA ...

High-intensity interval exercise training before abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (HIT-AAA): protocol for a randomised controlled feasibility trial [PDF]
Introduction: In patients with large abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), open surgical or endovascular aneurysm repair procedures are often used to minimise the risk of aneurysm-related rupture and death; however, aneurysm repair itself carries a high risk.
