AB  - Abdominal  aortic  aneurysm  (AAA)  has  an  adult  incidence  of  2%–4%,  with  approximately  10%  of  these  cases  occurring  in  people  over  the  age  of  65.  The  prevalence  increases  with  risk  factors  for  vascular  disease,  particularly  smoking  and  hypertension.  AAA  has  a  male  to  female  preponderance  of  8:1  and  may  be  present  in  as  many  as  10%  of  elderly  male  patients  with  at  least  one  risk  factor.
