Abstract:
A ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm is often a dramatic event with high mortality. The general practitioner needs more specific tools to select at-risk patients for screening and to identify symptomatic or presymptomatic patients for diagnostic interventions. The evidence-based practice guideline 'Diagnosis and treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm' offers basic diagnostic and therapeutic concepts. However, general practitioners see patients with non-specific symptoms or even without symptoms at all. Methods to identify patients with the highest risk of rupture are still lacking.
