Key result
Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) is a feasible imaging technique for evaluating pathological conditions of the abdominal aorta, including post-endoprosthetic repair.
Why the study?
What is the feasibility, sensitivity, specificity, and prognostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) compared to other imaging techniques in evaluating the abdominal aorta?

Supports expanded use of CEUS in abdominal aortic surveillance; leaves open head-to-head validation against CT angiography.
Analysed herein are the data of scientific literature over several last years concerning the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) of the abdominal portion of the aorta. Based on the results of Russian and foreign studies, the authors analyse feasibility of using CEUS in various pathological conditions of the aorta, as well as sensitivity, specificity, and prognostic value of the method. Also discussed are advantages and limitations of CEUS compared with other imaging techniques. This is followed by determining appropriate approaches to using the methodology of CEUS in examination of patients after endoprosthetic repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Finally, described is own experience of using CEUS in examination of a patient with chronic renal insufficiency after aortic endoprosthetic repair.
