Sentence examples for aaa expansion from inspiring English sources
In a previous study, Vega de Céniga et al. found that diabetes was associated with slower AAA expansion only for AAAs with an initial size of 4 4.9 cm.
A more proactive strategy would be to identify AAAs by screening and then to intervene therapeutically to slow down AAA expansion with preventive measures [5].
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are currently followed with serial ultrasound or computed tomography scanning diameter measurements, but evidence shows that AAA expansion is mostly discontinuous and quite unpredictable in any given patient.
Stent graft specific adverse events studied were migration, endoleak, kinking, thrombosis, and AAA expansion.
There was no difference in endoleak rate (p = 0.877), stent migration (p = 0.850), or AAA expansion rate (p = 0.599) between groups.
AAA expansion averaged 0.2 0.4 cm per year for aneurysms smaller than 4 cm, 0.2 0.5 cm for aneurysms 4 5 cm and 0.3 0.7 cm for those larger than 5 cm.

Arresting or regressing growth of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), localized expansions of the abdominal aorta are contingent on inhibiting chronically overexpressed matrix metalloproteases (MMPs -2 and -9 that disrupt elastic MMPs -2within the andtic wall, concurrent with providing a stimulus to augmenting inherently poor auto-regenerathat of these matrix structures.
Because elastolytic matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) has been implicated in AAA formation and expansion, drugs inhibiting MMP action have been proposed as an approach to reducing the growth rate of AAAs [43].
