Computed Tomography Scan Versus Color Duplex Ultrasound for Surveillance of Endovascular Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. A Prospective Multicenter Study

NCT01230203 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 659

Summary

Cumulative radiation dose, cost, contrast induced nephrotoxicity and increased demand for computed tomography aortography (CTA) suggest that duplex ultrasonoraphy (DU) may be an alternative to CTA-based surveillance. The investigators compared CTA with DU during endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) follow-up.

Patients undergoing EVAR have radiological follow-up data entered in a prospectively multicenter database. The gold standard test for endoleak detection was CTA. DU interpretation was performed independently of CTA and vice versa.
