Abdominal aortic aneurysms

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.

Identification of novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for abdominal aortic aneurysm

European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, 2019
Aims Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a life-threatening condition due to the risk of aneurysm growth and rupture. There are no approved diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers for abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm

The Lancet, 2005
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 ...

Mortality After Elective and Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Surgical Repair: 12-Year Single-Center Experience of Estonia

Scandinavian Journal of Surgery, 2018
Background and Aims: Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a degenerative vascular pathology with high mortality due to its rupture, which is why timely treatment is crucial.

ABDOMINAL AND THORACOABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM [PDF]

open access: possibleSurgical Clinics of North America, 1998
Most 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.

Prevention of Incisional Hernias by Prophylactic Mesh-augmented Reinforcement of Midline Laparotomies for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Treatment: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Annals of Surgery, 2016
Background:The incidence of incisional hernias after abdominal aortic aneurysm repair is high. Prophylactic mesh-augmented reinforcement during laparotomy closure has been proposed in patients at high risk of incisional hernia.

Long-term outcomes and factors influencing late survival following elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair: A 24-year experience

Vascular, 2016
Background Abdominal aortic aneurysms can be either treated by an open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair or an endovascular repair. Comparing clinical predictors of outcomes and those which influence survival rates in the long term is important in ...

Late Rupture of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm After Previous Endovascular Repair

Journal of Endovascular Therapy, 2015
Purpose: To report a systematic literature review of late rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and the results of a pooled analysis of causes, treatment, and outcomes.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 2001
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.

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 ...
