Medically-treated Aneurysm of Abdominal Aorta
Conditions
Keywords
Aneurysm of abdominal aorta, 18F-fluorodesoxyglucose (FDG-F18)
Brief summary
The primary aim of the study is to determine if the evolutivity of global and segmentary captation of FDG-F18, which can be measured in the wall of abdominal aorta aneurysm, is predictive of the 9 month evolution of diameter and volume of the aneurysm, measured globally and segmentary in angioscan.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* AAA with a minimum diameter of 40 mm, calculated with a standardized method * No indication for an immediate surgery or endoprothesis implantation * Age above 18 (except for patient under supervision) * Patient having read the information letter and signed the informed consent
Exclusion criteria
\- AAA should have no other specific cause than atherosclerosis
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Association between overall baseline 18-FDG uptake intensity of the aneurysm and its 9-month maximal diameter and/or volume in patients with diameter change greater than 4 mm/year | 9 months | Composite primary outcome. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Association between initial 18-FDG uptake of individual aneurysmal segments and their 9-month diameter change. | 9 months |
| Contribution of overall 18-FDG uptake to the predictive values of other baseline characteristics of the aneurysm (diameter, volume, thickness and wall stress, clinical and biological values) | 9 months |
| Association between overall 18-FDG uptake and other baseline characteristics of the aneurysm (diameter, volume, thickness and wall stress, clinical and biological values). | 9 months |
| Association between 9-month overall 18-FDG uptake change and variation of plasmatic biomarkers of inflammation, proteolysis and coagulation. | 9 months |
