AAA disease - Mechanism, stratification, and treatment

AAA disease - Mechanism, stratification, and treatment Conference on the Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Dalman, R. L., Tedesco, M. M., Myers, J., Taylor, C. A. WILEY-BLACKWELL. 2006: 92–109

Abstract

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common and frequently lethal disease of older Americans. No medical therapy has been proven effective in retarding progression of small AAAs prior to surgical repair. With the emerging ability of magnetic resonance (MR) flow imaging and MR-based computational analysis to define aortic hemodynamic conditions, and bio-imaging strategies to monitor aortic inflammation real time in vivo, the opportunity now exists to confirm the potential value of medical interventions such as supervised exercise training as first line therapy for small AAA disease.
