The value of volume over maximum diameter for following abdominal aortic aneurysm growth and reducing surveillance visits in patients with a subthreshold aneurysm
AAA volume is more sensitive to detect small changes in aneurysm size at the currently recommended surveillance intervals, and could be used to safely prolong surveillance intervals for patients with a small AAA. The use of volume should be encouraged in research and could prove valuable in AAA surveillance.
