Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysms using portable ultrasound in general practice

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 study aims to implement screening for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) in general practice using ultraportable ultrasound technology. It targets male smokers and former smokers aged 65 to 75 years, as well as individuals aged 50 to 75 years with a family history of AAA. The screening is designed to be rapid, noninvasive, and reproducible, addressing the low access rates to recommended AAA screenings. By conducting these screenings in general practice settings, the study seeks to improve early detection and reduce mortality associated with ruptured AAAs.
