Through progress in medical imaging, image analysis and finite element (FE) meshing tools it is now possible to extract patient-specific geometries from medical images of, e.g., abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), and thus to study clinically relevant problems via FE simulations. Medical imaging is most often performed in vivo, and hence the reconstructed model geometry in the problem of interest will represent the in vivo state, e.g., the AAA at physiological blood pressure. However, classical continuum mechanics and FE methods assume that constitutive models and the corresponding simulations start from an unloaded, stress-free reference condition.

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) in over 65-year-old men who have inguinal hernias and discuss if pre-operative selective screening of this population is appropriate. PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective study on 70 consecutive male patients with an age range of 65–88 years (mean, 74 years) who were referred to a single vascular consultant's out-patient clinic with an inguinal hernia were screened for the presence of an AAA with an ultrasound scan before hernia repair over a period of 3 years. RESULTS Two patients were found to have an AAA measuring 3.8 cm and 6.0 cm giving an AAA prevalence of 3% (exact 95% confidence interval = 0–10%). CONCLUSIONS This study does not demonstrate an increased AAA prevalence in over 65-year-old male patients with inguinal hernias, scanned pre-operatively when compared to screening programmes. Selective screening of this cohort cannot be justified on this evidence.

This is the second article in a series of articles regarding screening programmes. In this article, an overview of the abdominal aorta is provided. The article also considers the abdominal aortic aneurysm screening programme. Aortic abdominal aneurysm is described. The majority of abdominal aortic aneurysms are asymptomatic; however, if there are any symptoms, these are explained. All four UK countries offer men aged 65 years and over a screening opportunity using an ultrasound scan, the fundamental aspects of abdominal aortic aneurysm screening programmes is offered. It is emphasised that screening is not mandatory in the UK; the man has a right to decline the invitation to attend any screening programme.
