Questions about Abdominal aortic aneurysm
What is the risk of needing permanent kidney dialysis after suprarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair?
Patients needing suprarenal repair for an abdominal aortic aneurysm have a higher risk of permanent kidney dialysis compared to those needing infrarenal repair, with rates around 0.7% to 0.98% depending on the specific technique used.
Full answer →Does having a lower rest-activity rhythm increase my risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm?
Research from the UK Biobank shows that lower rest-activity rhythm parameters, such as reduced daily movement amplitude, are significantly associated with a higher risk of developing an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
