    Two modes of repair are available for an AAA: open aneurysm repair, and endovascular aneurysm repair . An intervention is often recommended if the aneurysm grows more than 1 cm per year or it is bigger than 5.5 cm. [52] Repair is also indicated for symptomatic aneurysms. Ten years after open AAA repair, the overall survival rate was 59%. [53]

    Risk factors for AAA include the male gender, aging, a history of smoking, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension. [4] [8] [11] Reviews reported estimates for prevalence rates of AAA were 0.9-9% in men and 1–2% in women, where, generally, the incidence of AAA is four times greater in men compared to women at the same age. [4] [8]

  4. Endovascular aneurysm repair - Wikipedia

    Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a type of minimally-invasive endovascular surgery used to treat pathology of the aorta, most commonly an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). When used to treat thoracic aortic disease, the procedure is then specifically termed TEVAR for "thoracic endovascular aortic/aneurysm repair."

    AAA 4–5.5 cm; Immediate surgery vs. ultrasound surveillance (and treatment for rapid expansion or AAA >5.5); 30-day mortality after elective AAA repair is 5.8%. No difference in survival. [39] ADAM VA Cooperative Group Trial: 73451

    Another approach is surgical repair. [5] The determination to perform surgery is usually based upon the diameter of the aortic root (with 5 centimeters being a rule of thumb - a normal size is 2-3 centimeters) and the rate of increase in its size (as determined through repeated echocardiography).
