• Prediction of rupture risk in abdominal aortic aneurysm during observation: wall stress versus diameter. (2003, background): “5 cm.(1-5) In an effort to prevent rupture, however, these studies required frequent observation, including ultrasound studies or computed tomography every 6 months, with surgical intervention for symptoms, rapid expansion, or growth to 5.”
• Practical clinical trials: increasing the value of clinical research for decision making in clinical and health policy. (2003, result): “0 years in the other trial.(41,42) Previous studies on this question had been much shorter and had left substantial uncertainty about the safety of deferring surgical repair of small aneurysms.”
• Outcomes following endovascular vs open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm: a randomized trial. (2009, result): “Furthermore, previous studies have reported low perioperative mortality for AAA repair in the Veterans Affairs health system compared with other US health care organizations.(19,20) Fourth, there were differences in the endovascular systems used.”
