Immediate repair compared with surveillance of small abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Immediate repair compared with surveillance of small abdominal aortic aneurysms.
TLDR
No survival is associated with immediate repair of asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysms which are less than 5.5 cm, and immediate repair did not benee t any of the prespecie ed groups.

Mortality After Elective Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair
TLDR
Mortality risks after elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) surgery are strongly age-related and a general threshold of 55 mm for surgery might not be justified for all patients.
Palliation of abdominal aortic aneurysms in the endovascular era.
Immediate open repair vs surveillance in patients with small abdominal aortic aneurysms: survival differences by aneurysm size.
Rupture rate of large abdominal aortic aneurysms in patients refusing or unfit for elective repair
TLDR
The rupture rate is substantial in high-operative-risk patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm of at least 5.5 cm in diameter and increases with larger diameter.

TLDR
The results of this study provide a basis for the surgeon to use these prognostic variables to assist clinical judgment and guide discussions on prognosis with the family and to identify those patients who have such a low chance of early and late survival that further aggressive treatment may be futile.

TLDR
Using these criteria, under 10 per cent of patients with ultrasonographically‐detected AAA should require surgery for this condition provided ultrasonography follow‐up is used.
Limitations of ultrasonography in surveillance of small abdominal aortic aneurysms
TLDR
Surprisingly, maximum diameter using ultrasonography was larger than that using computed tomography, the difference being least for anterior—posterior measurements.
