Summary
It is my pleasure to give this opening talk for the fifth edition of the International Meeting on Aortic Disease – which, as I’ve said before, is my favorite meeting. I was looking for a research topic when the January 1986 American Cancer Society journal CA arrived in my mailbox listing the top 15 causes of death in the United States, and I was surprised to find aortic aneurysm among them. My thought was to do a randomized trial of screening for abdominal aortic aneurysms, but when I thought about it more, it seemed to me that there was a serious problem.
