Abstract:
This overview contains suggestions for two different types of trials, medical treatment of small aneurysms and methods for selection of aneurysms in need of intervention. Questions in need of answers are evaluation of the influence on growth and rupture by medical treatment and parameters other than absolute diameter for selection of patients for open surgical or endovascular intervention. These questions need not necessarily be answered by randomised controlled trials.
