Implication

Supports serial CT surveillance of small AAAs; confirms growth rates align with prior ultrasound data.

Structured PICO

P
Population
35 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms subjected to repeated computerized tomographic examinations
I
Intervention
Repeated computerized tomographic (CT) examinations to measure aneurysm size
O
Outcome
Growth rate of the transverse diameter of the abdominal aortic aneurysmsurrogate

The mean growth rate of abdominal aortic aneurysms measured by CT is approximately 0.52 cm/year, which aligns with ultrasound estimates and supports serial imaging for monitoring small aneurysms.
