Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This trial investigates whether the blood pressure medication telmisartan can slow the growth of small abdominal aortic aneurysms (35-49mm). Adults aged 40-85 with a stable small aneurysm that does not yet require surgical repair are eligible. The study aims to find a medication-based approach to managing aneurysms and potentially delaying or preventing the need for surgery.
