Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) occur because of dilation of the infra-renal aorta to more than 150% of its initial diameter. Progression to rupture is aided by several pathophysiological and biomechanical factors. Surgical intervention is recommended when the aneurysm maximum transverse diameter...
