  • Title: Indications for operative management of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
    Author: Shakibaie F, Hall JC, Norman PE.
    Journal: ANZ J Surg; 2004 Jun; 74(6):470-6. PubMed ID: 15191485.
    Abstract:
    The increasing incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysms, along with the more frequent use of screening techniques, has resulted in greater numbers of patients with small abdominal aortic aneurysms. The questions of frequency of surveillance and timing of intervention are the two most controversial issues faced by surgeons dealing with this condition. Most management decisions are based on the size of the aneurysm but other factors must also be considered. This review makes recommendations on the management of small abdominal aortic aneurysms according to the current available evidence.
