Surveillance
Monitoring for gentlemen found to have an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)
At your screening appointment, if you are found to have an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, you will be entered into our Surveillance Programme. Here you will be seen at regular intervals to monitor the growth of your Aneurysm.
Small Aneurysms
if you are found to have a small aneurysm, this means that your aorta measures between 3.0cm and 4.4cm. With a small aneurysm, you will be invited back for screening every 12 months.
Medium Aneurysms
if you are found to have a medium aneurysm, this means that your aorta measures between 4.5cm and 5.4cm. With a medium aneurysm, you will be invited back for screening every 3 months.
