Key result
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a valuable complementary technique that provides clinically significant additional information compared to standard Duplex US for abdominal aortic pathologies.
Why the study?
Does contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) improve diagnostic accuracy for abdominal aortic pathologies compared to standard ultrasound or CTA?

May aid post-EVAR endoleak surveillance in renal impairment; leaves open need for prospective validation before guideline adoption.
Rafailidis et al. (2018) conducted a review in Abdominal aortic pathology. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) vs. Standard Duplex US was evaluated. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a valuable complementary technique that provides clinically significant additional information compared to standard Duplex US for abdominal aortic pathologies.
