Reference values of normal abdominal aortic areas in Chinese population measured by contrast-enhanced computed tomography

Abstract: ObjectiveTo generate reference values of the normal areas of the abdominal aorta at various levels among Chinese people and to explore the factors that may promote the expansion of the abdominal aorta.MethodsThe areas of normal abdominal aortas were gauged at various levels based on inner-to-inner measurements in 1,066 Chinese adult patients (>18 years) without the abdominal aortic disease. The areas of subphrenic abdominal, suprarenal abdominal, infrarenal abdominal, and distal abdominal aortas were me… Show more

“…Knowing the normal abdominal aortic diameter is essential to diagnosing aortic pathologies such as AAA and it is especially crucial for deciding when to surgically intervene. AAA is diagnosed when the abdominal aortic diameter is 3.0 cm or greater or if its diameter is 50% or two standard deviations greater than its mean diameter [5][6][7].…”

“…The following parameters were obtained UAA diameter (<3.0 cm), PSV (50.7-152.9 cm/sec), End diastolic velocity (EDV) (0-39.4), and resistance index (RI) (0.72-1.0). 20 , 21 IVC diameters 12 to 17 mm. 22 Figures 1 & 2 demonstrate the effect of the training program on the measurements of UAA and IVC.…”
