Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is the 10 th leading cause of death in the United States. USPSTF recommends screening for AAA on men ages 65 to 75 years who have ever smoked. However, recent literature suggests an increased prevalence of AAA in patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) irrespective of age. Additionally, CAD with AAA share common risk factors. AAA rupture or repair on patients less than 65-year-old have not been documented. Objective: We conducted a single center retrospective review of all patients at the Salem VA Medical Center, Virginia who completed an abdominal ultrasound (US) for AAA screen in 2013. The goal of the current study was to identify the prevalence of AAA through routine US screen in veteran population compare with the prevalence of AAA in patients with multi-vessel CAD. Additionally to identify specific trends in high-risk population. Method: Cohort A included 634 patients for primary screening of AAA. Cohort B included 132 patients who had multi-vessel CAD based on coronary catherization were reviewed for incidental AAA on any abdominal imaging. Medical records were reviewed; demographics were collected including age, gender, HTN, DLD, DM, tobacco use, presence of AAA, and size. Conclusion: Cohort B had 19.3% (26/135) prevalence of AAA, verses Cohort A had 7.7% (49/634), a statistically difference P (0.008). Cohort B, 13.3% (6/26) were less than 65-years-old verses 25% (20/88) were over 65 years old. Cohort A with AAA 34.5% (17/49) of patients had documented CAD - Number of coronary vessels conferred to a greater risk of AAA, 2 vessel CAD 10.3% (6/58), 3 vessel CAD 7.3% (10/73), 4 vessel CAD 100% (1/1). This result supports the growing concern for AAA in patients with multi-vessel CAD, thus should be considered as an independent risk factor for AAA. Patients with multi-vessel CAD should be screened sooner than current recommended guidelines.
