16 lip 2023 · At 4 centimeters (cm), an aortic aneurysm is either safe to monitor with imaging or at risk of rupturing, which may require surgery to prevent serious complications. The aorta is the...
19 mar 2020 · This guideline covers diagnosing and managing abdominal aortic aneurysms. It aims to improve care by helping people who are at risk to get tested, specifying how often to monitor asymptomatic aneurysms, and identifying when aneurysm repair is needed and which procedure will work best.

Rapid aortic root growth or ascending aortic aneurysm growth, an indication for intervention, is defined as ≥0.5 cm in 1 year or ≥0.3 cm/y in 2 consecutive years for those with sporadic aneurysms and ≥0.3 cm in 1 year for those with heritable thoracic aortic disease or bicuspid aortic valve.

1 maj 2003 · Based upon the best available current evidence, 5.5 cm is the best threshold for repair in an “average” patient. However, subsets of younger, good-risk patients or aneurysms at higher rupture risk may be identified in whom repair at smaller sizes is justified.
Given the smaller native size of the aorta and the higher incidence of rupture of small abdominal aortic aneurysms among women,11,12 most experts and guidelines suggest that a smaller...
