Our expectation is that the numbers of diagnosed small abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) will increase in the future. Slowing down the progression of AAAs is of great interest as this could prevent cost-intensive and potential lethal operations. Recent studies indicate that modern medical treatment such as prevention for cardiovascular disease has a spin-off benefit by suppressing the expansion rate of AAAs. According to these studies ACE inhibitors, statins and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may have effect, macrolides may have some effect while beta-blockers and calcium-channel blockers have no effect.
