Aortic diameter was repeatedly measured between the lowermost renal artery and 10mm above the aortic bifurcation at 5% length intervals. The largest diameter change (≥ or < 2.6mm) and its distance from the maximum aneurysm diameter (> or ≤ 10% of aneurysm length) were used to classify patients at one and two years into slow, edge and peak growth. A symmetry test was used to test for directionality of changes in growth profiles between the first and the second year.
