Ultrasonography of the abdominal aorta was routinely performed in a consecutive series of 100 patients during postoperative reconvalescence after myocardial revascularization. The mean aortic diameter was greater in the male series (n = 80) then in the female population (n = 20) (2.17 +/- 0.85 cm vs 1.6 +/- 0.3 cm). Abnormalities were only seen in male patients over 50 years of age (n = 65). The overall incidence of aneurysm greater than or equal to 4 cm was 6%. The incidence of aortas at least 3 cm was 7/65 (11%). It is suggested that the incidence of unsuspected aortic aneurysm in this subgroup is high enough to justify continued screening programmes by ultrasound.
在100例心肌血运重建术后康复期的连续患者系列中，常规对腹主动脉进行超声检查。男性组（n = 80）的平均主动脉直径大于女性组（n = 20）（2.17±0.85厘米对1.6±0.3厘米）。仅在50岁以上的男性患者（n = 65）中发现异常。直径大于或等于4厘米的动脉瘤总体发生率为6%。直径至少3厘米的主动脉发生率为7/65（11%）。有人认为，该亚组中未被怀疑的主动脉瘤发生率足够高，足以证明通过超声继续进行筛查计划是合理的。
