<p>Background:Recent imaging studies reported an association between vascular inflammation and progression of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). This study investigated the clinical significance of periaortic adipose tissue inflammation derived from multidetector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA).</p><p>Methods and Results:Patients with asymptomatic AAA (n=77) who underwent an index and >6 months follow-up MDCTA examinations were retrospectively investigated. MDCTA analysis included AAA diameter and the periaortic adipose tissue attenuation index (PAAI). The PAAI was defined as the mean CT attenuation value within a predefined range from −190 to −30 Hounsfield units of adipose tissue surrounding the AAA. The growth rate of the AAA was calculated as the change in diameter. AAA progression (AP) was defined as an AAA growth rate ≥5 mm/year. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to determine the predictors of AP. AP was observed in 19 patients (24.7%), the median baseline AAA diameter was 38.9 mm (interquartile range [IQR] 32.7–42.9 mm), and the median growth rate was 3.1 mm/year (IQR 1.5–4.9 mm/year). Baseline AAA diameter (odds ratio [OR] 1.16; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05–1.28; P=0.001) and PAAI (OR 1.12; 95% CI 1.05–1.20; P=0.004) were independent predictors of AP.</p><p>Conclusions:PAAI was an independent and significant predictor of AP, supporting the notion that local adipose tissue inflammation may contribute to aortic remodeling.</p>
