Evolution of quality of life, anxiety, and depression over time in patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm approaching the surgical threshold

Patients with a family history of abdominal aortic aneurysm or a primary education alone experience more anxiety and/or depression and thus might benefit from a tailored approach during surveillance.
