Approximately 16% of large<unk><unk><unk> s (diameter > 5.5 cm) rupture, causing 9,000 AAA-related deaths in the United States per year. Several studies have shown that screening can drastically reduce the<unk>  rupture rate by 45-49% for men older than 60, and reduce AAA-related mortality by 21-68%. In a landmark study randomizing 67,800 men, (The Multicenter<unk>  Screening Study)<unk> -related mortality was 53% lower in the screening group as compared with control patients. The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends one-time screening for<unk><unk><unk>  (AAA) by ultrasonography in any man, aged 65 to 75 who has ever smoked. The USPSTF makes no recommendation for or against screening for AAA in men aged 65 to 75 who have never smoked. The USPSTF recommends against routine screening for AAA in women.
