Modeling the Growth of Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms.
BACKGROUND Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) growth is a complex process that is incompletely understood. Significant heterogeneity in growth trajectories between patients has led to difficulties in accurately modeling aneurysm growth across cohorts of patients. We set out to compare four models of aneurysm growth commonly used in the literature and confirm which best fits the patient data of our...
متن کاملA primer on infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms
Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms have an alarmingly high mortality rate that often exceeds 50%, even when patients survive long enough to be transported to hospitals. Historical data have shown that ruptures are especially likely to occur with aneurysms measuring ≥6 cm in diameter, but there are so many exceptions to this that several randomized clinical trials have been done in an attempt t...
متن کاملUninfected Para-Anastomotic Aneurysms after Infrarenal Aortic Grafting
PURPOSE This single-institution retrospective review examines the management of uninfected para-anastomotic aneurysms of the abdominal aorta (PAAA), developed after infrarenal grafting. MATERIALS AND METHODS From October 1979 to November 2005, 31 PAAA were observed in our Department. Twenty-six uninfected PAAA of degenerative etiology, including 24 false and 2 true aneurysms, were candidates ...
متن کاملGrowth rate and associated factors in small abdominal aortic aneurysms.
OBJECTIVE To study the growth rate and factors influencing progression of small infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). DESIGN Observational, longitudinal, prospective study. PATIENTS AND METHODS We followed patients with AAA <5 cm in diameter in two groups. Group I (AAA 3-3.9 cm, n = 246) underwent annual ultrasound scans. Group II (AAA 4-4.9 cm, n = 106) underwent 6-monthly CT scans....
متن کاملRing-stents supported infrarenal aortic endograft fits well in abdominal aortic aneurysms with tortuous anatomy.
AIM Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) with severe angulation of the neck or of the iliac arteries are often unsuitable for endovascular repair with conventional endografts. We evaluated the performance of a ring-stent abdominal endograft (AnacondaTM Vascutek, Terumo, Scotland) in a consecutive series of infrarenal AAA. METHODS Preoperative, procedural and follow-up data of patients treated wit...
