Current treatment of renal artery aneurysms may be too aggressive.
OBJECTIVE Most studies recommend repair of renal artery aneurysms (RAAs) >2 cm in diameter in asymptomatic patients, but other studies have suggested that their natural history may be more benign. We hypothesized that rupture and death in patients with asymptomatic RAAs is low and that current recommendations for RAA treatment at 2 cm may be too aggressive. METHODS Retrospective review of all...
متن کاملThe current management of isolated degenerative femoral artery aneurysms is too aggressive for their natural history.
BACKGROUND Previous studies have combined anastomotic, catheter-induced, and atherosclerotic isolated femoral artery aneurysms (FAAs) to achieve adequate numbers for analysis and have recommended repair of asymptomatic FAAs with diameters ≥2.5 cm and all symptomatic FAAs. This study evaluated the contemporary management of isolated FAAs. METHODS Patients with FAAs were evaluated using a stand...

متن کاملExpansion rates of asymptomatic popliteal artery aneurysms.
OBJECTIVES In the absence of symptoms the decision to operate on popliteal artery aneurysms (PA) is often made on PA diameter. Little information exists on growth rate and therefore optimum scanning intervals. The aim of this paper is to define growth rate of PA managed conservatively. METHODS A prospective study of patients with asymptomatic PA was carried out. Patients were invited for ultr...
