“…In a large study of 79,121 abdominal ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, an incidental AAA was found in 1% of patients ( Van Walraven et al 2010 ). When symptomatic, an unruptured AAA may present with a pulsating pain or sensation in the stomach or groin ( Petriceks et al 2018 ) and/or a chronic lower back pain from vertebral column erosion ( Yildizgoren et al 2016 ).…”

An abdominal aortic aneurysm is an irreversible dilatation of the abdominal aorta. The majority of abdominal aortic aneurysms are asymptomatic and identified incidentally while investigating a separate pathology. Others are detected by national screening programmes and some present due to a growth or rupture. Symptomatic or ruptured aneurysms require urgent or emergency repair in patients fit for surgery. Perioperative practitioners should therefore be aware of how patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms present and are investigated, so that they can implement timely management. Guidelines have been recently updated to reflect this. This literature review discusses these recommendations and explores the evidence upon which they are based. The aim of this article is to highlight the important preoperative principles that need to be considered in cases of abdominal aortic aneurysm.
