Comment: A 2007 meta-analysis of 7 studies of treatment
of small (<5.5cm) abdominal aortic aneurysms did not show improved
survival with repair. Larger studies of this problem with longer
follow-up are needed. Lederle FA et al., Systematic Review: Repair
of Unruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Ann Intern Med 2007; 146 (May
15): 735-741. |
