Note that years generally pass before the mortality risk expresses itself, even for large aneurysms. Source: Coady MA, Rizzo JA, Hammond GL, et al.

Groups represent increasing initial aneurysm size: group A, 4.0 to 5.4 cm; group B, 5.5 to 6.4 cm; group C, 6.5 cm or larger. Source: Peppelenbosch N, Buth J, Harris PL, et al.
