AbstractThe most commonly used predictor of rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is the diameter, but this does not correlate well with the risk of rupture. Therefore, in order to make further improvements in clinical decisions regarding AAA patients, the development of additional predictive tools other than aneurysm size alone is needed. We herein report a case of a 72-year-old man with AAA that underwent rupture transformation during six months. We review the morphological features changes detected by computed tomography and also observe several alters circulating biomarkers at the same time. In the study presented essentially an association of those combined parameters with the risk of AAA impending rupture.Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
