The frequency of the diagnosis of arterial aneurysms is increasing. Aneurysms in many locations remain asymptomatic and require careful evaluation of at-risk patient populations. Screening of first-degree relatives of patients with known AAA now appears to be indicated. A high index of suspicion of the possible presence or the existence of known aneurysms should prompt timely referral for evaluation by a vascular surgeon. Consideration of a patient's candidacy for surgical intervention should involve the evaluation of a myriad of factors, some of which have been elucidated in this overview. The safety of surgical intervention for aneurysm repair has continued to improve, and most patients can be surgically managed with an acceptably low rate of morbidity and mortality.
动脉动脉瘤的诊断频率正在上升。许多部位的动脉瘤仍无症状，需要对高危患者群体进行仔细评估。现在看来，对已知腹主动脉瘤患者的一级亲属进行筛查是有必要的。对可能存在已知动脉瘤的高度怀疑应促使及时转诊给血管外科医生进行评估。考虑患者是否适合手术干预应涉及对众多因素的评估，其中一些因素已在本概述中阐明。动脉瘤修复手术干预的安全性持续提高，大多数患者可以通过手术治疗，发病率和死亡率低至可接受水平。
