The Stanford University Medical Center Division of Vascular Surgery is currently enrolling patients for an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Study that examines the effect of blood flow on AAA progression and pathogenesis. We are seeking subjects for three patient groups: (1) Spinal Cord Injury patients who are non-ambulatory for at least 5 years, (2) patients with small, infrarenal AAA's (< or = 4.0 cm), and (3) control patients with no history of aneurysmal disease. All subjects must be at least 55 years of age; both males and females are being recruited. All patients will undergo abdominal ultrasound imaging and magnetic resonance imaging. Please contact Dr. Maureen Tedesco at tedescom@stanford.edu, (650)724-7582, or Stanford pager 12935 for further information." .
