Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are individuals diagnosed with an infrarenal abdominal aortic diameter greater than 30 mm.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with Type B dissections, saccular aneurysms, mycotic aneurysms, visceral aneurysms, or thoracic aneurysms may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
The Triple-A Barcelona Study (TABS) is a prospective longitudinal registry that recruits individuals diagnosed with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) at two hospitals in Barcelona. Participants are enrolled if they have an abdominal aortic diameter greater than 30 mm, with data collected through imaging, clinical assessments, and blood samples. The study aims to gather comprehensive medical histories and follow-up measurements until surgical intervention, rupture, or death occurs. This approach allows for a detailed understanding of AAA progression and patient outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of AAA progression and improve patient management strategies.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies focusing on AAA have shown success in understanding disease progression, making this approach both relevant and potentially impactful.
