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 ...

Simultaneous Volumetric T1 and T2 Mapping With Blood- and Fat-Suppression in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop and validate a protocol for simultaneous volumetric T1 and T2 mapping with blood‐ and fat‐suppression, and apply it to patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) to assess tissue characteristics. Methods A spoiled gradient echo (SPGR) variable flip angle (VFA) acquisition was modified with preparation modules to suppress

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 ...

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.

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.
