Grima MJ, Behrendt CA, Vidal-Diez A, et al. - Researchers gathered data on intact (iAAA) and ruptured infrarenal AAA (rAAA) repair for the years 2010–2012 from Denmark, England, Finland, Germany, Hungary, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, and the USA in order to determine the mean abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) diameter for repair in these nine countries. Further, they examined how the mean AAA diameter vary for elective AAA repair and assessed its relationship to rupture AAA repair rates and aneurysm related mortality in corresponding populations. Analysis revealed that the mean diameter of iAAA repair varies (n = 34,566; range Germany = 57 mm, Denmark = 68 mm). Variations was also observed in mean diameter for AAA repair despite recommendations from learned society guidelines. No significant correlation was evident between mean diameter of AAA repair and rates of iAAA repair and rAAA repair.
