The AAA calculator above uses the aortic dilatation size to prognosticate the predicted average annual expansion rate, absolute lifetime risk of rupture and clinical recommendation. The method applies to aneurysms of sizes from 3 cm to 7 cm and above in incremental steps of 0.10 cm.
This abdominal aortic aneurysm prognosis calculator determines the annual expansion of the enlarged aorta, the risk of rupture and recommends treatment and surgery.
* Elective surgical repair should be considered for aneurysms > 5.0–5.5 cm. AAA = abdominal aortic aneurysm. Data from Brewster DC, Cronenwett JL, Hallett JW Jr, et al .
1 sty 2013 · An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an abnormal dilation of the abdominal aorta between the diaphragm and the aortic bifurcation of the iliac arteries. An AAA is usually defined as a dilatation with a diameter of >3 cm or 50% greater than the typical diameter.
