Q: Is abdominal aortic aneurysm dangerous? A: Most abdominal aortic aneurysms are asymptomatic. They can therefore be very dangerous since the patient might not realize that he is suffering from ...

The chronic contained rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm is relatively rare (2.7% of operated infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms) and occurs when an aortic leak is contained by surrounding ...

We present the early results of a policy of treating all anatomically suitable ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAAs) by emergency endovascular aneurysm repair (eEVAR), regardless of hemodynamic ...

Endovascular repair is increasingly used for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (RAAAs). This study estimated the mortality rate for this approach. A review of 307 publications in English was ...

Prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) among patients with aortic abdominal aneurysms (AAAs) ranges between 40% and 60%. 1 A correlation between CAD severity and AAA prevalence has also been ...

Patients who have a recent history of asthma or who have taken anti-asthma medications are more likely to have an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) on screening and to have a rupture of an existing AAA, ...

Endovascular image for aortic aneurysm. Treating patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms with endovascular strategy over open repair may increase survival and decrease cost. In patients with ...

A 78-year-old with a 7 cm abdominal aortic dilation underwent endovascular repair at SSB Heart Hospital, treating the ...

Reston, VA (Embargoed until 6:15 p.m. EDT, Tuesday, June 15, 2021)--A new positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer can detect abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and potentially predict when they ...

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are characterised by the pathological dilation of the infrarenal aorta, a condition that can culminate in fatal rupture if undetected or untreated. Research in this ...

RUPTURED aneurysms of the abdominal aorta are unquestionably associated with a high mortality rate. Though modern technics of vascular surgery have altered the essentially hopeless prognosis of ...
