Fewer women than men suffer from abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). The women who are diagnosed with this fatal disease are more generally diseased, have a higher risk of concurrent thoracic aortic aneurysms, have a lower chance of endovascular aortic repair treatment, have a higher complication rate, and presumably, have a poorer survival rate than men with AAAs and other women in the population. This is an overview on prevalence, treatment, outcome, and multilevel aneurysm disease in women with AAAs compared with men.
患腹主动脉瘤（AAA）的女性比男性少。被诊断患有这种致命疾病的女性通常病情更严重，并发胸主动脉瘤的风险更高，接受血管内主动脉修复治疗的机会更低，并发症发生率更高，而且与患有AAA的男性及一般女性相比，其生存率可能更低。本文概述了与男性相比，患有AAA的女性的患病率、治疗、预后及多级动脉瘤疾病情况。
