Infrarenal versus Suprarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: Comparison of Associated Aneurysms and Renal Artery Stenosis

Gender-Based Differences in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Rupture: A Retrospective Study

“…We wanted to neutralize the effect of current use of medications on AAA outcomes as there is evidence suggesting that use of cardio-protective medications like aspirin, clopidogrel, statins and beta blockers have protective effects against AAA [13][14][15][16]. Ninety-three percent of our sample presented with infrarenal aneurysm, which is consistent with the data that 85% of the AAAs are infrarenal [17]. Though estrogen has a protective effect in the development of AAA in females, hormonal replacement therapy increases the risk of AAA development after menopause [18].…”

Diseases of the Aorta and Kidney Disease: conclusions from a Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Controversies Conference

“… 36 In a recent study with 933 participants, the prevalence of RAS ranged from 5.2% (infrarenal AAA) to 20.3% (suprarenal AAA). 37 In another recent study of patients undergoing repair for infrarenal AAA, only 2.6% of patients had RAS, which was defined by stenosis of 70% or more. 14 Future studies should assess the prevalence of RAS with angiographic criteria, its functional impact (hypertension control, kidney function), and its the prognostic significance for renal outcomes in patients with AAA.…”

Aneurysms and dissections - What is new in the literature of 2019/2020 - a European Society of Vascular Medicine annual review

“…There is also a high co-prevalence of other aneurysms or manifestations of atherosclerosis in pts with aortic aneurysm [7]. In a retrospective cross-sectional study, CTA scans of 933 pts with AAA, including thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs) were evaluated.…”
