Abstract

Aortic aneurysms are the 13th leading cause of death in the United States. While aneurysms can occur along the entire length of the aorta, the infrarenal location is the most common. Targeted ultrasound screening has been found to be an effective and economical means of preventing aortic aneurysm rupture. The indication for repair includes either symptomatic aneurysms or aneurysms with a diameter greater than 5.4 cm. Treatment options for the repair of infrarenal aortic aneurysms are open surgical repair (OSR) and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Currently, EVAR is the primary treatment method for the repair of infrarenal aortic aneurysms due to improved short-term morbidity and mortality outcomes. This article is intended to review the current status of the management of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
