Why the study?
Does computed tomography accurately evaluate abdominal aortic aneurysms compared to angiography in patients undergoing elective repair?

CT is not sufficiently accurate for documenting renal artery location and patency to routinely replace angiography in the preoperative assessment of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
CT may not suffice to replace angiography for renal artery assessment in AAA repair; leaves open whether modern protocols improve accessory artery detection.
Papanicolaou et al. (1986) studied this question.
