Ultrasound evaluation of abdominal aortic and iliac aneurysms and mesenteric ischemia.
The role of US in imaging of the abdominal vasculature has broadened over recent years. Long considered the modality of choice in the detection of AAA, its use has expanded to diagnosing and monitoring IAAs and PAAs, screening for mesenteric ischemia, and posttreatment monitoring of endovascular stents.
