According to retrospective cohort studies, low-dose aspirin may be associated with slowing the progression of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) in some patients. However, a definitive answer to "Can I take aspirin if I have an aortic aneurysm?" is complex and requires careful consideration with a healthcare provider.

A 2020 randomized clinical trial involving 254 adults demonstrated that doxycycline was not effective in preventing the growth of small abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). While earlier animal studies suggested a potential protective effect, subsequent human trials found no benefit, and some even raised concerns about potential negative effects, directly addressing the question: can doxycycline cause aneurysm.
