Human activity is causing environmental degradation, which is the deterioration of the environment through depletion of resources such as air, water and soil; the destruction of ecosystems; habitat destruction; the extinction of wildlife; and pollution.
Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) Research studies suggest that a routine ultrasound scan is worthwhile for all men aged 65. This is because most people with an AAA do not have symptoms. Following a routine scan, surgery can be offered to men found to have an aneurysm over 5.5 cm wide.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair is a procedure used to treat an aneurysm (abnormal enlargement) of the abdominal aorta. Repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm may be performed surgically through an open incision or in a minimally-invasive procedure called endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). newer procedure is the endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR): Abdominal aortic aneurysm open repair. Open repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm involves an incision of the abdomen to directly visualize the aortic aneurysm. The procedure is performed in an operating room under general anesthesia.
