      The threshold for AAA repair is 5.5 cm in men or 5 cm in women.AAAs larger than 6 cm should be repaired if possible. Small aneurysms (4.0–5.0 or 5.5 cm) should be followed with serial ultrasound scans until they become symptomatic, enlarge rapidly, or become large enough to repair. Endovascular repair is appropriate for older patients and

      Research has identified critical points in aortic size progression. These are at 6 cm in the ascending aorta and 7 cm in the descending aorta. At these diameters, there is a near 30% risk of aortic dissection.8 Experts recommend intervention for the ascending aorta at 5.5 cm (or growth rate >0.5 cm/year ). For
