Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in older men reduced AAA mortality at 13 years

Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm: a 7-year retrospective observational study in an emergency department of Hong Kong 7 NH Chu Objectives: To review the clinical presentations and outcomes of patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in a regional hospital and its evaluation

. On the other hand, consider the effects of 30-50 % inhibition of AAA growth. (Fig 1) Fig1- Click image to view larger version This figure shows the effect of reducing AAA growth rate by 30, 40 and 50%. As a group, AAA patients have a relatively high mortality from all causes (6-7%/year). Thus, a significant

. The purpose of this study was to identify the predictors of endograft complications and mortality in patientsundergoing endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair; specifically, our aimwas to identify a subset of patientswith AAAwhose risk of periproceduremortalitywas so high that they should

Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in men 65 to 74 years of age was cost-effective for AAA mortality at 10 years Thompson SG, Ashton HA, Gao L, Scott RA; Multicentre Aneurysm Screening Study group. Screening men for abdominal aortic aneurysm: 10 year mortality and cost effectiveness

of antibiotics has markedly diminished mortality from infectious diseases, reduced the burden of tuberculosis in the modern world, improved survival after trauma, and allowed the development of therapies that intentionally or incidentally suppress the immune system for the treatment of autoimmune diseases

l l Purpose: To compare the outcomes of open versus endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in a cohort of patients who fulfill morphological criteria for endovascular repair. Methods: A retrospective review of 229 consecutive AAA patients treated over a 3-year period identified 149

Although endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in the abdominal aorta has reduced the perioperative mortality when compared with open repair, the need for reintervention after complications such as endoleak may be presented in up to 20% of the cases. Type II endoleak from branch vessels is often

l l Purpose: To determine whether increasing experience with endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair in a single institution will result in improved outcome. Methods: A retrospective review was undertaken of 150 consecutive cases of endovascular AAA repairs performed using the Aneu

l l Purpose: To assess the long-term results of a homemade aortomonoiliac polytetrafluoro-ethylene (PTFE) device used for endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. Methods: A vascular audit database was interrogated to identify 58 consecutive AAA pa-tients (all men; median age 73 years
