A physical examination has low sensitivity in the detection of small<unk><unk>  aneurysms (29-61% for<unk><unk>  aneurysms 3.0-3.9 cm in diameter), but has a sensitivity of 76-82% in the detection those<unk><unk>  aneurysms that are 5.0 cm or larger that may warrant repair. It is easier to detect a pulsatile mass in thin patients and those who do not have tense abdomens. Contrary to popular belief, gentle palpation of<unk><unk>  aneurysms is safe and does not precipitate a rupture.
