Ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm in general practice
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks whether a portable ultrasound scan in a regular doctor’s office can find abdominal aortic aneurysms (a bulge in a major artery in the belly) early. It may help identify people at risk so doctors can plan next steps sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at blood and/or scan markers to better understand abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). It may help doctors predict risks and guide follow-up or treatment choices.
This study looks at how common abdominal aortic aneurysms (bulges in the belly's main artery) are in people with primary lung cancer. It involves a simple imaging test to check for this condition.
This study is testing a new approach to manage abdominal aortic aneurysms (bulges in the main belly artery). It is for people whose aneurysm is larger than 30 mm but does not have certain rare features that require different care.
This study is offering screening to check for an abdominal aortic aneurysm, a bulge in a major blood vessel in the belly. It may help find a problem early so it can be monitored or treated sooner if needed.
This study uses special imaging to better measure how the aorta wall behaves in people with an enlarged aorta (an aneurysm) and in some people without an aneurysm. Results may help doctors understand aneurysm risk and plan care more precisely.
This study uses a hand/eye pressure test (tonometry) and an ultrasound scan (duplex ultrasound) to see if they can predict future heart or blood vessel events in people with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) who are planning elective surgery. It may help doctors choose the safest follow-up and treatments for you after repair.
