Objective This paper aimed to summarize the new progress in surgical indications regarding as maximum diameter from evidence-based medical evidence and morphological rupture-risk assessment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and its clinical application value.Method The rupture-risk and its mechanism of AAA in specific population and morphological characteristics were reviewed.Results Asymptomatic patients in specific subgroups may also benefit from AAA repair by lowering the intervention threshold. Besides the maximum diameter of aneurysm, other morphological factors, such as the true geometric shape, the wall thickness, and mural thrombus also had important predictive value for AAA rupture risk.Conclusion Rupture-risk assessment based on the actual individual situation of AAA patients can further facilitate the clinical diagnosis and treatment.
