[Abdominal aorta aneurysms discovered in cardiac rehabilitation]

Abstract

We reported two cases of unusual discovery of asymptomatic surgical abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) after a coronary artery bypass graft and a valve surgery. Attending cardiac rehabilitation, the patients were transferred for prompt surgery. Beyond these observations, it is of great importance that screening of AAA could be done during echocardiography.
