Objective An abdominal aortic aneurysm is considered giant when its transverse diameter is greater than 10–13 cm in diameter. A giant abdominal aortic aneurysm is rare but with a significant risk of rupture if it is not diagnosed or left untreated. Method The authors have performed a systematic review of the evidence that has looked into the clinical presentations, and management methods employed and have presented a 14 cm giant abdominal aortic aneurysm patient. Results The systematic review has been based on level-IV evidence due to the rarity of the condition. The final analysis included 61 relevant reported cases. The mean age was 72.4 years, the male to female ratio was 52: 8, and the average size of a giant abdominal aortic aneurysm was 14.7 cm. These were mostly infra renal (72.58%). Rupture of these aneurysms was found in 23 (37.1%) patients, and was treated by laparotomy in 51 (82.25%) cases. There were 11 (17.74%) mortalities. Conclusion The size of an abdominal aortic aneurysm is known to be the biggest factor in the rupture of an aneurysm. The reason abdominal aortic aneurysms can reach such size without rupturing is unclear but needs further exploring. Early diagnosis with effective screening programmes is essential to diagnose in a timely manner to avoid life-threatening consequences.

“…The risk of AAA increases if it is present in the first generation of a family and it is more often associated with diseases such as hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and diabetes mellitus (7,8). An aneurysm can also be related to Ehlers-Danlos and Marfan syndromes in younger people (9,10). In the majority of patients with abdominal aneurysms, discovery is coincidental.…”

Background: The aim of this paper was to investigate the dynamics of inflammatory parameters in patients after infrarenal abdominal aneurysm surgery.Methods: The retrospective study included patients with operated infrarenalabdominal aneurysm, divided into two groups. First group were patients that underwent endovascular aneurysm repair procedure (EVAR), and second group were patients that had open surgery. General data and inflammatory parameters (CRP, leukocytes, platelets, and fibrinogen) had been taken during hospitalization, compared mutually and analyzed.Main findings:All inflammatory parameters, observed preoperatively, were close to referent range. Serum CRP values in EVAR patients raised after operation, but returned to the reference range more quickly as well as leukocyte count. Around the middle of their own hospital stay and at the day of discharge, the group operated on by the open method had statistically significant higher platelet values than the EVAR group. During the preoperative period and in the middle of hospitalization, the group operated on by the open method shows higher fibrinogen values, while the opposite is at the day of discharge, where the EVAR group shows statistically significantly higher fibrinogen values.Principal conclusions: Observed serum inflammatory parameters (CRP, leukocytes, fibrinogen, and platelets) in different phases of hospitalization were lower; closer to the reference value in patients with infrarenal abdominal aneurysm that underwent EVAR, compared to patients operated by the open surgery method. Also, the observed parameters, except fibrinogen, returned to the reference value faster in patients who underwent EVAR.Key words: abdominal aortic aneurysm, endovascular aneurysm repair, inflammatory parameters
