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 ...

Urgent endovascular aortic dissection repair in a Marfan patient during COVID‐19 pandemic
Although Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair is usually applied to patients without connective tissue disorders, our case shows its potential for complicated type B aortic dissection in a Marfan patient as a feasible alternative to open redo surgery with
