The Occurrence of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms in Patients with Intracranial Aneurysms: A Two-Center Experience
Imaging in this study revealed an AAA occurrence rate of 7.4% in the included IA patients, which is substantially higher than the prevalence of the general population and the known prevalence in male individuals over 60 years. Additional risk factors include male sex and advanced age. These findings support consideration of screening for AAA in patients diagnosed with IA.
