Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: Simple Treatment Or Prevention (AAA: STOP) is currently enrolling patients. The aim of AAA: STOP is to determine whether an exercise program reduces the rate of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm enlargement and diminishes blood markers of disease progression. One of the main purposes of the study is to test the efficacy of exercise as a non-surgical treatment of small AAAs. Please visit the study website at aaastop.stanford.edu for additional information.
Best wishes to Dr. Sheila Coogan who recently left our faculty to return to Houston, Texas.
