An asymptomatic abdominal aoic aneurysm in an otherwise fit patient should be considered for repair if >55 mm in diameter (measured by ultrasonography). The annual incidence of rupture rises from 1% or less in aneurysms that are <55 mm in diameter to a significant level, perhaps as high as 25%, in those that are 70 mm in diameter.Ref: Bailey and love pg: 961
