Key result
Early surgery for small abdominal aortic aneurysms only provides benefit if the operative mortality risk (2.7-5.5%) is considerably smaller than the annual risk of spontaneous rupture (0.6-3.2%).
Why the study?

Kertai et al. (2002) conducted a letter in small abdominal aortic aneurysms. early surgery was evaluated. Early surgery for small abdominal aortic aneurysms only provides benefit if the operative mortality risk (2.7-5.5%) is considerably smaller than the annual risk of spontaneous rupture (0.6-3.2%).
