A large AAA screening program at the VA detects more aneurysms, but at smaller diameters than that published in clinical trials. Over time, the number of inappropriate AAA screenings has continued to decrease, demonstrating greater awareness and application of the AAA screening guidelines by primary care providers. Developing surveillance guidelines for small and medium aneurysms is a potential area for future research.

If this same tendency prevails in other prospective studies, we strongly believe that prophylactic excision of all nevus sebaceus is not warranted. Excision should be recommended only when benign or malignant neoplasms are clinically suspected or for cosmetic considerations.
