DABT abbreviation for "dual antiplatelet therapy" Explanation: From what I have found DABT stands for the english medical term "dual antiplatlet therapy" which is used as a treatment for patients to prevent blood clots after surgery. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/drugs/22993-dual-antip... |

dual antibiotic therapy Explanation: Unless this is a typo, this may refer to dual antibiotic therapy, which is apparently used in an attempt to reduce inflammation in the treatment of aortic aneurysms (not very successfully, it would seem) - as well as being a cause of them (depending on the AB used - see references). That said, this abbreviation does not appear to be very common in English, and the sources below make no specific reference to dual AB therapy. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs (2023-09-13 13:28:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "dauerhafte Antibiotikatherapie" is another possibility which just occurred to me https://www.uspharmacist.com/article/common-antibiotic-doesnt-shrink-aortic-aneurysms-as-expected https://www.bmj.com/content/360/bmj.k678 |

Reference: DABT related? Reference information: Als thorakoabdominales Aortenaneurysma, kurz TAAA, bezeichnet man eine pathologische Gefäßausweitung (Aneurysma), die gleichzeitig an der deszendierenden thorakalen und der abdominalen Aorta vorliegt. https://flexikon.doccheck.com/de/Thorakoabdominales_Aortenan... Das Aneurysma der deszendierenden thorakalen Aorta (DTAA) ist zu etwa 80% atherosklerotisch-degenerativ bedingt. http://gefaessmanual.de/?page_id=13159 |
