## Abstract ## Background The aim of this study was to assess possible differences in mortality between men and women with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) treated either by elective repair or following aneurysm rupture. ## Methods A systematic literature search was performed using the MEDLINE
The risk of rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm increases with size. It has thus been recommended that small aneurysms be continuously followed with some type of imaging technique to detect when aneurysm size constitutes an indication for surgery. The present study focuses on the growth rate of
