Do abdominal aneurysms occur in people who had a ruptured brain aneurysm

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective single-cohort study in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage who will undergo an abdominal ultrasound to look for abdominal aortic aneurysms. The trial will collect data from multiple neurosurgical centers in the Netherlands and centralize analysis at Leiden University Medical Center. Participants are drawn from an existing prognosis study of acutely ruptured aneurysms and must be at least one year post-aSAH with informed consent. The objective is to better understand the co-occurrence of intracranial and abdominal aneurysms and to evaluate the potential need for routine AAA screening in this population.

* Patient is a study subject of the trial: Study on Prognosis of Acutely RupTured Aneurysms (SPARTA)(12)
* Inclusion at least one year after aSAH
* Written informed consent

By being a study subject of the SPARTA trial, the following criteria are applicable:

* Confirmed diagnosis of SAH on CT-scan or lumbar puncture (in the presence of a negative CT-scan)
* IA related SAH as confirmed with radiological imaging
* Age 18 years or older at presentation
* Written informed consent for the SPARTA-trial

Exclusion Criteria:

A potential participant who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:
