Abstract

Several recent articles have discussed ultrasonographic surveillance of small abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of lesion size on immediate morbidity and mortality after surgical treatment of AAA. More specifically we investigated whether the mortality rate was lower after treatment of AAA measuring
