vic organs with risk of colonic ischaemia, reimplantation of the inferior mesen­teric artery may be considered during open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. (Class IIb; Level C)
• Recommendation 53: In open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, it is recom-
mended to preserve the blood ow to at least one internal iliac artery to reduce the risk of buttock claudication and colonic ischaemia. (Class I; Level C)
• Recommendation 54: In patients treated for abdominal aortic aneurysm by open
repair, prophylactic use of mesh reinforcement of midline laparotomies may be considered for patients at high risk of incisional hernia. (Class IIb; Level A)
5.1.1.6 Techniques forElective AAA Endovascular Repair
• Recommendation 55: An ultrasound guided percutaneous approach should be
considered in endovascular aortic aneurysm repair. (Class IIa; Level B)
• Recommendation 56: Preservation of large accessory renal arteries (>3mm) or
those that supply a signicant portion of the kidney (>1/3) may be considered in endovascular aneurysm repair. Class IIb; Level C)
103
5.1.1.7 Management ofRuptured AAA
• Recommendation 63: In haemodynamically stable patients with suspected rup-
tured abdominal aortic aneurysm, prompt thoracoabdominal computed tomogra­phy angiography is recommended as the imaging modality of choice. (Class I; Level B)
• Recommendation 74: In patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm and
suitable anatomy, endovascular repair is recommended as a rst option. (Class I; Level B)
• Recommendation 69: In patients undergoing endovascular repair for ruptured
abdominal aortic aneurysms, a bifurcated device, in preference to an aorto-uni­iliac device, should be considered whenever anatomically suitable. (Class IIa; Level C)
5.1.2 Society forVascular Surgery
These guidelines recommend [2]:

5 Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)
5.1.2.1 Screening/Surveillance
• We recommend a one-time ultrasound screening for AAAs in men or women
65–75years of age with a history of tobacco use. Level of recommendation 1 (strong), quality of evidence A (high).
• We suggest ultrasound screening for AAA in rst degree relatives of patients
who present with an AAA.Screening should be performed in st degree relatives who are between 65 and 75years of age or in those older than 75years and in good health. Level of recommendation 2 (weak), quality of evidence C (low).
• We suggest a one-time ultrasound screening for AAAs in men or women older
than 75years with a history of tobacco use and in otherwise good health who have not previously received a screening ultrasound examination. Level of rec­ommendation 2 (weak), quality of evidence C (low).
• If initial ultrasound screening identied an aortic diameter >2.5cm but <3cm,
we suggest rescreening after 10years. Level of recommendation 2 (weak), qual­ity of evidence C (low).
• We suggest surveillance imaging at 3-year intervals for patients with an AAA
between 3.0 and 3.9cm. Level of recommendation 2 (weak), quality of evidence C (low).
• We suggest surveillance imaging at 12-month intervals for patients with an AAA
between 4.0 and 4.9cm in diameter. Level of recommendation 2 (weak), quality of evidence C (low).
• We suggest surveillance imaging at 6-month intervals for patients with an AAA
between 5.0 and 5.4cm in diameter. Level of recommendation 2 (weak), quality of evidence C (low).
5.1.2.2 Indication forElective Repair
• We recommend repair for the patient who presents with an AAA and abdominal
or back pain that is likely to be attributed to the aneurysm. Level of recommenda­tion 1 (strong), quality of evidence C (low).
• We recommend elective repair for the patient at low or acceptable surgical risk
with a fusiform AAA that is ≥5.5cm. Level of recommendation 1 (strong), qual­ity of evidence A (high).
• We suggest elective repair for the patient who presents with a saccular aneurysm.
Level of recommendation 2 (weak), quality of evidence C (low).
• We suggest repair in women with AAA between 5.0cm and 5.4cm in maximum
diameter. Level of recommendation 2 (weak), quality of evidence B (moderate).
These guidelines generally recommend EVAR for elective AAA repair. OAR of an AAA is suggested for patients who do not meet the anatomic requirements for endo­vascular repair, including short or angulated landing zones, excessive thrombus, multiple large accessory renal arteries, and small and tortuous access vessels with concomitant occlusive disease. However, fenestrated, branched, and chimney or

snorkel grafts have expanded the range of complex aortic anatomy potentially treat­able by EVAR. OAR may be required for treatment of a persistent endoleak and aneurysm sac growth after EVAR or for treatment of a mycotic aneurysm or infected graft.
5.1.2.3 Management andPerioperative Outcome ofElective Repair
• We suggest that elective EVAR be performed at centers with a volume of at least
10 EVAR cases each year and a documented perioperative mortality and conver­sion rate to OAR of 2% or less. Level of recommendation 2 (weak), quality of evidence C (low).
• We suggest that elective OAR for AAA be performed at centers with an annual
volume of at least 10 open aortic operations of any type and a documented peri­operative mortality of 5% or less. Level of recommendation 2 (weak), quality of evidence C (low).
5.1.2.4 Management ofRuptured AAA
• We recommend immediate repair for patients who present with a ruptured aneu-
rysm. Level of recommendation 1 (strong), quality of evidence A (high)
• We suggest a door-to-intervention time of <90min, based on a framework of
30–30–30 min, for the management of the patient with a ruptured aneurysm. Level of recommendation: Good Practice Statement, quality of evidence: Ungraded
• An established protocol for the management of ruptured AAA is essential for
optimal outcomes. Level of recommendation: Good Practice Statement, quality of evidence: Ungraded
• We recommend implementing hypotensive hemostasis with restriction of uid
resuscitation in the conscious patient. Level of recommendation 1 (strong), qual­ity of evidence B (moderate).
• If it is anatomically feasible, we recommend EVAR over open repair for treat-
ment of a ruptured AAA.Level of recommendation 1 (strong), quality of evi­dence C (low).
5.1.2.5 Management inSymptomatic Patients
• Should repair of a symptomatic AAA be delayed to optimize coexisting medical
conditions, we recommend that the patient be monitored in an ICU setting with blood products available. Level of recommendation 1 (strong), quality of evi­dence C (low).

• We suggest renal artery or SMA angioplasty and stenting for selected patients
with symptomatic disease before EVAR or OAR.Level of recommendation 2 (weak), quality of evidence C (low).

5.1.3 ACC/AHA Guideline fortheDiagnosis andManagement
ofAortic Disease
These guidelines recommend [3]:
• In patients with nonruptured AAA with low to moderate operative risk and who
have anatomy suitable for either open or EVAR, a shared decision-making pro­cess weighing the risks and benets of each approach is recommended. Class of recommendation [COR] 1; Level of evidence [LOE] A)
• In patients undergoing elective endovascular repair for nonruptured AAA, adher-
ence to manufacturer’s instructions for use is recommended. (COR 1; LOE B-NR)
• In patients with nonruptured AAA and a high perioperative risk, EVAR is rea-
sonable to reduce the risk of 30-day morbidity, mortality, or both. (COR 2a; LOE B-NR)
• For patients with nonruptured AAA, a moderate to high perioperative risk, and
anatomy suitable for an FDA-approved fenestrated endovascular device, endo­vascular repair is reasonable over open repair to reduce the risk of perioperative complications. (COR 2a; LOE B-NR)
• In patients presenting with ruptured AAA who have suitable anatomy, endovas-
cular repair is recommended over open repair to reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality. (COR 1; LOE B-R)
5.2 Results
5.2.1 AAA-Screening
5.2.1.1 Systematic Review/Meta-Analysis
In 2014, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommended one-time ultrasound screening for AAA in asymptomatic men aged 65–75years who had ever smoked (B recommendation). Guirguis-Blake etal. [4] prepared a systematic review based on 50 studies (n=323,279) to inform an updated recommendation by the USPSTF on the evidence related to the effectiveness of 1-time and repeat screen­ing for AAA and possible related harms, as well as the effectiveness and related harms of treatment (pharmacotherapy or surgery) of small AAAs (3.0–5.4cm in diameter). Meta-analysis of population-based randomized clinical trials (RCTs) estimated that a screening invitation to men 65years or older was associated with a
