Care guide for Nonruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Includes: possible causes, signs and symptoms, standard treatment options and means of care and support.
The most devastating sequelae involve neurotoxicity and abdominal aortic or cardiopulmonary air-lock phenomena which can lead to bowel ischemia or cardiovascular collapse. Most instances involving small amounts of air contamination are, thankfully, self-limited in nature. When symptoms persist or where ...

Thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm poses a substantial mortality risk in adults, yet many of its underlying factors remain unidentified. Here, we identify mitochondrial nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)⁺ deficiency as a causal factor for the development of aortic aneurysm. Multiomics analysis...
Predictors of outcome after elective endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and external validation of a risk prediction model Endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair (EVAR) has been associated with lower operative mortality and morbidity than open surgery but comparabl...

For example, a variant allele of glutathione peroxidase 1 was found to protect against thoracic aortic aneurysm development in hypertensive patients, while increasing the risk of coronary artery disease, PAD, and stroke37. Other examples include a polymorphism of the glutathione peroxidase 3, which ...
Background and objective Ischaemic colitis can be a serious complication after aortic surgery. The paucity of clinical symptoms makes its diagnosis particularly difficult and often delayed. Automated on-line tonometry is now proposed to monitor intestinal perfusion. This study was designed to assess the...
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are the 13th leading cause of death in the United States 1 and approximately 40,000 patients undergo elective AAA repair each year.2 With the population aging, this number is expected to increase. Although the use of end

Background It is expected that the main benefit of abdominal aortic aneurysm AAA screening will be derived from differences in the mortality rate between elective and ruptured AAA repair. There may also be differences in elective AAA mortality rate between screened and nonscreened patients, and the...
