Is cardiovascular prognosis at 1-year of patients with acute coronary syndrome related to abdominal aortic aneurysm despite small size of the aneurysm?
Our results show that in patients with coronary artery disease already at high CV risk, the presence of AAA was associated with worse CV prognosis at 1 year, and incurred an increased risk of occurrence of any CV event (fatal and nonfatal).
Our data fail to demonstrate significant advantages of MPCNL in terms of reduced surgical trauma and associated invasiveness compared with standard PCNL based on the variables objectively measured in this study.
