Summary
This bibliometric analysis reveals a decade of global abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) research trends. Key findings highlight leading institutions and emerging topics like artificial intelligence in AAA studies.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Biomedical Research
- Bibliometrics
Background:
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening condition requiring surgical intervention.
- No comprehensive review of AAA research trends existed.
- Understanding research dynamics is crucial for clinical practice and funding.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify global research trends in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) over the past decade.
- To inform clinical practice, research funding, and strategic decision-making.
- To provide a comprehensive bibliometric overview of AAA research.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of publications from January 2014 to March 2024.
- Data sourced from Web of Science core collection.
- Visual analysis using CiteSpace, RStudio, and VOSviewer.
Main Results:
- 9,905 publications from 67 countries, with the US, China, and UK as top contributors.
- Stanford University, Harvard Medical School, and Mayo Clinic led in publications.
- Emerging hotspots include "artificial intelligence", "clinical outcomes", and "bridging stent".
Conclusions:
- This is the first bibliometric study to comprehensively review AAA research trends.
- Identifies current research hotspots and future directions in AAA.
- Provides valuable insights for future AAA research and clinical applications.

01:25Abdominal Aorta
Once the aorta traverses the diaphragmatic plane at the aortic hiatus, it is known as the abdominal aorta. This anatomical structure is positioned leftward of the spinal column, encased within a cocoon of adipose tissue behind the peritoneal cavity. It terminates at the L4 vertebra, where it splits into the common iliac arteries. Prior to this bifurcation, the abdominal aorta gives rise to several vital branches.
The celiac trunk, a singular artery, divides into the left gastric artery, which...

01:30Aneurysm I: Introduction
An aortic aneurysm is a localized outpouching or dilation at a weak point in the artery wall. It may involve different parts of the aorta, such as the abdominal aorta, aortic arch, or thoracic aorta.Etiological factorsSeveral disorders are associated with aortic aneurysms.Congenital causes, such as primary connective tissue disorders like Marfan syndrome, impact the integrity and strength of connective tissues, notably affecting the aorta. Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that specifically...
01:21Aneurysm II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...
01:26Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care
Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended. This...
01:22Aneurysm IV: Nursing Management
Vigilant monitoring for aneurysm rupture is essential for patients undergoing aortic surgery.Preoperative Nursing ManagementContinuously monitor the patient for manifestations of aneurysm rupture, such as pallor, weakness, tachycardia, hypotension, abdominal, back, groin, or periumbilical pain, changes in consciousness, and a pulsating abdominal mass. Regularly assess the patient's peripheral pulses.Instruct the patient to consume a clear liquid diet the day before surgery and administer...
