Can ultrasound replace CT scans for aneurysm patients?
NCT ID NCT01230203
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 659 patients who had surgery to fix an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Researchers compared two types of scans—CT and ultrasound—to see which one is better at finding problems like leaks or blockages after the repair. The goal was to find out if ultrasound could be used instead of CT to reduce radiation and cost.
