Does a normal screening ultrasound of the abdominal aorta reduce the likelihood of rupture in emergency department patients?

Introduction: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) development is a multifactorial process that is more prevalent among people ≥65years of age. Major risk factors are obesity, male sex, history of smoking (at least 100 cigarettes in a person's lifetime), and history of AAA in a first-degree relative. The United States Preventative Task Force has recommended a one-time ultrasound screening for men aged 65-75years.
