No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Abdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA) occurs when the infrarenal aorta expands to a maximal diameter of 3.0cm or greater. Although AAA may asymptomatic for many years, almost one third eventually rupture if left untreated.

Several randomized trials showed that ultrasonographic screening for AAA could reduce the frequency of acute operations and AAA-related mortality.

However, all of randomized trials were performed in Western countries. There was no randomized trials for AAA screening in Asian countries.

This randomized, controlled trial is to analyze the benefits of screening old population for AAA in Korea.
