The USPSTF recommends one-time screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) by ultrasonography in men aged 65 to 75 who have ever smoked.
The USPSTF makes no recommendation for or against screening for AAA in men aged 65 to 75 who have never smoked. The USPSTF recommends against routine screening for AAA in women
