First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study compares two ways to screen men at high risk for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA): having their general practitioner use a small, portable ultrasound device during a regular visit versus the current standard of referring them to a radiologist. The goal is to see if the new approach leads to more people getting screened. About 400 men aged 50–75 who smoke or have a family history of AAA will take part.
