Small Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: Should We Wait?
The proper management of small abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), namely those under the threshold of 5.5 cm in diameter, has been under investigation for years. Risk of rupture for this group of AAAs is higher than the rest of the population, and specific factors have been associated with increased growth rate of small AAAs. This review aims to collect and present all available research data o...

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms Human Studies The incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is increasing in the elder population. Independent risk factors for AAA include not only aging but also male and smoking, whereas some risk factors such as hypertension and hypercholesterolemia have not been consistently demonstrated to be independent risk factors. There are several recent population stud...
