Why do the current guidelines recommend that screening be only performed for men? Will the estimated number of approximately 4.5 million people in the developed world who are living with an abdominal aortic aneurysm benefit from screening efforts? How many AAA patients will be added each year to the 600,000 new cases that are diagnosed […]

Has a new dimension been added to minimally invasive surgery that eliminates complications associated with traditional surgery such as postoperative abdominal wall pain, wound infections, hernias, adhesions, and impaired immune function? Are second generation devices currently being evaluated and have any of the prototypes been proven to be more feasible for clinical application?

Family of television star John Ritter sues hospital > undetected aneurysm caused rupture and sudden death

Thursday, September 13, 2007

Was the sudden death of actor John Ritter caused by an oversight? Would a simple $50 ultrasound scan have revealed the balloon like bulging of his aorta? Was the ascending aortic aneurysm detected during a hospital visit last year?
