Rosemont, Ill., Jan. 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) A retrospective study analyzing approximately 55,000 patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair suggests current AAA screening guidelines may be inadequate in detecting a significant number of new cases. Additionally, expanding screening for certain population segments may be warranted. The study patients were enrolled in the Vascular Quality Initiative between years 2003 and 2019.
The study was spearheaded by Jeffrey E. Indes, MD, vascular surgeon at Montefiore Einstein Center for Heart and Vascular Care, and results were published in the December 2020 edition of the Journal of Vascular Surgery.
