Abstract
Background: The literature reporting the long-term survival following surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) tends to be confusing. As a result, many clinicians looking after patients with AAA may be uncertain about the five-year survival of a given patient. This is in marked contrast to the situation for patients with malignant disease. With the current interest in population screening and endoluminal stenting for AAA, an understanding of long-term survival is increasingly important.Keywords
