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.

Abstract Thirty patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms were followed up for five years or until they died.

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

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms in Triplets

Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2010
We report the case of 3 male triplets, 2 of whom, both lifelong smokers, presented with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) within 24 hours of each other. One survived surgery but the other died from the rupture. The third brother, an ex-smoker, was found to have an ectatic aorta and was placed into a surveillance program.

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

Infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2003
Screening 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.
