Fluoroquinolones and aortic aneurysms: Which fluoroquinolones are at risk?
A recent cohort study described a 66% increased rate of aortic aneurysms in patients receiving fluoroquinolones (Pasternak et al. BMJ 2018; 360:k678). The authors did not study the different fluoroquinolones. The present study was performed to investigate the fluoroquinolones more at risk of aortic aneurysms.
