International opinion on priorities in research for small abdominal aortic aneurysms and the potential path for research to impact clinical management
- Abstract:
-
Landmark trials of surgery for small abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), which included patients with AAA sizes between 40-55mm, did not demonstrate medium term survival benefits of early surgery in these patients[1]. However, these trials also showed the variation in AAA growth rates between individuals, and that the majority of patients with small AAAs would eventually progress to the threshold of 55mm within 5 years.
There is no existing literature to highlight priorities for research in the subject of AAA. To address this, we conducted an online survey to vascular surgery colleagues internationally to obtain a global opinion on the priorities for research for AAA.
