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.

Extracellular matrix composition and remodeling in human abdominal aortic aneurysms: a proteomics approach. [PDF]
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are characterized by pathological remodeling of the aortic extracellular matrix (ECM). However, besides the well-characterized elastolysis and collagenolysis little is known about changes in other ECM proteins.

Evolution of the wall shear stresses during the progressive enlargement of symmetric abdominal aortic aneurysms. [PDF]
The changes in the evolution of the spatial and temporal distribution of the wall shear stresses (WSS) and gradients of wall shear stresses (GWSS) at different stages of the enlargement of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are important in understanding

Background: While common in the elderly population, abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are rare in the paediatric population and reported to be more common in patients with connective tissue disorders or certain genetic conditions such as tuberous ...

Systematic review and meta-analysis of the growth and rupture rates of small abdominal aortic aneurysms: implications for surveillance intervals and their cost-effectiveness. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Small abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs; 3.0-5.4 cm in diameter) are usually asymptomatic and managed by regular ultrasound surveillance until they grow to a diameter threshold (commonly 5.5 cm) at which surgical intervention is considered ...

Abstract Between 1981 and 1986, 282 cases of abdominal aortic aneurysm were diagnosed in Waltham Forest. Rupture had occurred in 183, 15 underwent urgent operation for intact aneurysm, and 84 had elective surgery. The incidence of rupture increased from 13 to 21 per 100000 population during the 6-year period.

Abdominal aortic aneurysms cause 1.3% of all deaths among men aged 65-85 years in developed countries. These aneurysms are typically asymptomatic until the catastrophic event of rupture. Repair of large or symptomatic aneurysms by open surgery or endovascular repair is recommended, whereas repair of small abdominal aortic aneurysms does not provide a ...

Mycotic aortic aneurysm due to clostridium septicum and diverticulitis
Mycotic aortic aneurysms represent about 1% of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Typically seen in the setting of immunocompromise, mycotic aneurysms can affect younger patients and those without typical vascular risk factors.
