Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are prevalent among older adults and can cause significant morbidity and mortality if not addressed in a timely fashion. Their etiology remains the topic of continued investigation. Known causes include trauma, infection, and inflammatory disorders.

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1994
The management of abdominal aortic aneurysms has undergone tremendous evolution during the past three decades, resulting in significant advances in our ability to diagnose and safety treat patients with aneurysms. Over the past several years, most research interest has been focused on the etiology of aneurysmal disease, new imaging techniques, cardiac ...

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 1999
The mortality rate after the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm is 80% to 90%; therefore, the main goal of treatment is to prevent rupture. Patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms smaller than 5 cm in diameter should be managed conservatively under close surveillance with either computed tomography or sonography every 3 to 12 months.

Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2023Abdominal 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.

Arteriosclerotic Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Postgraduate Medicine, 1960In the absence of otherwise fatal disease, the mere presence of an arteriosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysm is indication for its removal and replacement with a graft. If the aneurysm is not treated, the patient has only one chance in 10 of living long enough to die of some other cause. The fact that half of the patients whose aneurysms have ruptured

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening
Seminars in Roentgenology, 2015Introduction Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a potentially lifethreatening condition causing approximately 16,000 deaths per year in the United States (US). Most patients with AAA are asymptomatic until the aneurysm ruptures, which is uniformly fatal if untreated.

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.

Infected Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Southern Medical Journal, 1987We 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.

RUPTURED ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM*
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1970A bstract Rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm is a dire surgical emergency. The mortality rate in surgically treated cases, although declining due to better diagnosis and advances in vascular surgery, is high. However, the mortality in untreated cases is virtually 100 per

Infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2003Screening programs should be instituted to identify patients with small asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) in the community. Screening for AAAs reduces the rate of aneurysm rupture and reduces death from aneurysmal disease in the population.
