The impact of gender on presentation, therapy, and mortality of abdominal aortic aneurysm in the United States, 2001-2004

This line graph demonstrates the overall annual incidence of AAA as well as that for the intact and ruptured subgroups in the United States, 2001-2004.

This bar chart demonstrates the shift in the percentage of intact AAA cases performed endoluminally from 2001-2004. By 2004, 50% of cases were endovascular aortic repairs.

This graph demonstrates the annual in-hospital mortality rate for intact AAA overall, as well as that for women and men individually from 2001-2004. The mortality rates have decreased overall, as well as for both genders, however, the rate for women remained >4% in 2004.

This figure represents the percentage of aneurysms that presented with rupture from 2001-2004 by patient gender. No significant change occurred for either gender, with the proportion of women with AAA presenting with rupture remaining >20% each year.
