Abstract:
Among the causes of mortality observed in the elderly population between 65 years and 80 years, the specific mortality rate related to AAA has been rising for several years. The interest of screening programs has been demonstrated and elective surgery is likely to reduce the incidence of rupture in at risk patients. This prospective study will allow us to know the prevalence of AAA in our country. A screening program will be set up with general practitioners and elective surgery will be proposed according to the diameter of the aorta. Cost-effectiveness of this program will be assessed. Improvement of life expectancy will be measured.
