Does preliminary ten year result from a randomised single centre mass screening trial for abdominal aortic aneurysm?
Over ten years, screening reduced mortality from AAA by 73%, and the frequency of emergency operations by 68%.
The findings of this study suggest that degeneration increases the potential for delamination between AF layers. Given this substantial change to the integrity of the AF after degeneration, clinical treatments should not only target rehydration or regrowth of the NP, but should also target repair and strengthening of the AF to confine the NP.
