Performing a one‐time screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with abdominal ultrasound has been shown to reduce mortality in adults. The USPSTF recommends one‐time sonography in males between the ages of 65 and 75 who have ever smoked. The American College of Cardiology (ACC) also recommend screening male ever‐smokers ages 65–75 as well as men over 60 who are siblings or children of individuals diagnosed with an AAA. In addition, the Society of Vascular Surgery (SVS) recommends screening all men 65 or above, men 55 or older with a family history of AAA, and women 65 or above with a family history of AAA or past or present smoking use. The Canadian Cardiovascular Society has similar recommendations but recommends screening adults 50 or older with a family history of AAA.⁵³
