[False-positive findings in screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm]

17 Oct 2009 The incidence of false-positive screening results in connection with ultrasound scans (US) for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is unknown, but it is presumably a rare occurrence. The estimated predictive values of both false and true screening ... Read more...

The correlation of aortic neck length to early and late outcomes in endovascular aneurysm repair patients.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Initially, patients with a short angulated aortic neck were considered unfit for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Recently, however, more liberal use of EVAR has been advocated. This study analyzes the correlation of aortic neck ... Read more...

Growth rate of affected aorta in patients with type B partially closed aortic dissection.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Our purpose was to evaluate the growth rate (GR) of the affected aorta and to clarify whether a partially closed false lumen can affect aortic enlargement in patients with type B double-barrelled aortic dissection (AD). METHODS: ... Read more...
