Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: A Study of One Hundred and Two Cases

Abstract

Data were compiled from the records of 101 cases of abdominal aortic aneurysm, almost all of which were due to arteriosclerosis. These records were selected only when there was unequivocal evidence of aneurysm, and cases of true dissecting aneurysm were not included. The data were studied primarily in regard to prognosis of this condition but in addition, all clinical manifestations of abdominal aortic aneurysm were reviewed.
