Abstract
[Extract] We thank Sterpetti and Bozzani for their letter about our recent study.1 Both our original study and prior meta-analysis suggested that abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) grow more slowly in patients with than without concurrent athero-occlusive disease.1,2 Similar to Sterpetti and Bozzani, we support the need for personalised management of patients with small AAA to enable more effective selection of patients for elective surgery. It is possible that a combination of clinical risk factors and circulating biomarkers (e.g., D dimer) may facilitate personalised AAA management.3,4
