Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) reduces rupture related deaths, and is a cost effective preventive measure.1 Although population screening for AAA for men aged 65 years is recommended in guidelines, this strategy has only been implemented in a few countries.2 The national screening programme in England is one of the most comprehensive efforts in this field.
