Genetics of abdominal aortic aneurysm

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2013
Family 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 ...

Management of abdominal aortic aneurysms

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2005
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are a lethal disease. Ultrasound is the modality of choice for screening patients for AAAs. It is reasonable to screen patients over age 60, particularly men, women with cardiovascular risk factors, smokers, and patients with a family history of AAAs.

The unoperated abdominal aortic aneurysm

The American Journal of Surgery, 1966
Abstract Thirty patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms were followed up for five years or until they died. Two patients died from rupture of the aneurysm, twenty-seven and twenty-three months from the date of diagnosis. These two patients had little evidence of other arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease and should have benefited from replacement

MicroRNAs in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Current Vascular Pharmacology, 2015
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are an important source of morbidity and mortality in the U.S. and worldwide. Treatment options are limited, with open surgery or endovascular repair remaining the only curative treatments. Classical cardiovascular medications have generally failed to prevent or significantly alter AAA formation or progression ...

Abdominal aortic aneurysm.

The Journal of cardiovascular surgery, 2016
Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms has become a milestone in the treatment of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm. Technological improvement allows treatment in more and more complex cases. This review summarizes all grafts available on the market. A complete review of most important trial on this topic is provided to the best of our

Pharmacotherapy of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Current Vascular Pharmacology, 2006
Aortic aneurysms account for 10,000 deaths annually in the UK, due to rupture. At present the only effective therapeutic strategy to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms is to surgically repair them; this carries an elective mortality of up to 10%. Recent advances in vascular biology have led to a greater understanding of the pathophysiological process ...

Infected Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Southern Medical Journal, 1987
We 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.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm repair

Nursing Standard, 2000
Rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is often a catastrophic event, while elective traditional repair involves major surgery. This article explains AAA development and traditional repair, and introduces a new, less invasive method of repair: endovascular stenting.

RUPTURED ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM*

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1970
A 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
