The abdominal aorta may undergo dilatation resulting an aneurysm. Some aneurysms may rupture causing death. The risk of rupture increases once the diameter exceeds 5cm. The management is detection and surgery for large aneurysms. As most aneurysms are asymptomatic prior to rupture screening of men using ultrasound may save lives. The aims of this study are to assess the role of screening on mortality from aneurysms and to assess a new blood test which may help monitor aneurysms.

腹主动脉可能会扩张，导致动脉瘤。一些动脉瘤可能破裂导致死亡。一旦直径超过5厘米，破裂的风险就会增加。对于大动脉瘤的处理是检测和手术。由于大多数动脉瘤在破裂前是无症状的，因此使用超声波对男性进行筛查可能会挽救生命。本研究的目的是评估筛查对动脉瘤死亡率的作用，并评估一种新的血液检查方法，该方法可能有助于监测动脉瘤。
