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.

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2018
An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a localized dilatation of the infrarenal aorta. AAA is a multifactorial disease, and genetic and environmental factors play a part; smoking, male sex and a positive family history are the most important risk factors, and AAA is most common in men >65 years of age.

Diabetes and the Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm [PDF]
European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2010 The aim of this review is to delineate the association between abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and diabetes mellitus. Mechanisms for the underlying association are then discussed.A systematic review of the English-language literature using PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases was undertaken up to September 2009.

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.

Epidemiology of abdominal aortic aneurysms
Seminars in Vascular Surgery, 2021Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) disease remains a major source of morbidity in developed countries and can progress to life-threatening rupture if left untreated, with exceedingly high mortality. The goal of AAA management is to identify and electively repair AAAs before rupture.

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.

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 ...

ABDOMINAL AND THORACOABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1998Most abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) are asymptomatic and are found on physical exam or incidentally during radiological studies for other indications. These aneurysms are repaired primarily because their risk of rupture increases geometrically as the size exceeds 5 cm.

Infected Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Southern Medical Journal, 1985In the surgical literature, 37 survivors of infected abdominal aortic aneurysmorrhaphy have been reported. The diagnosis is suspected if a patient with fever, leukocytosis, and abdominal pain is noted on physical examination to have a pulsatile abdominal mass. Confirmation is best obtained with computerized tomography and angiography.

Genetics of abdominal aortic aneurysm
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2013Family history is a risk factor for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), suggesting that genetic factors play an important role in AAA development, growth and rupture. Identification of these factors could improve understanding of the AAA pathogenesis and be useful to identify at risk individuals.Many approaches are used to examine genetic determinants of ...
