Description
Mohammed Alsagheer Alhewy and co-authors assessed ultrasound from inside the vessel during aneurysm repair in 2025. The repair, called EVAR, fixes a swollen aorta from within using a stent graft. Exact vessel sizes matter, and one group of patients, those with kidney disease, gains most from avoiding contrast dye.
Eighty patients at university hospitals were split between standard contrast-guided repair and ultrasound-guided repair. Ultrasound sizes agreed moderately with scan sizes. The width of the access artery, as read by ultrasound, strongly predicted whether the aneurysm sac shrank after repair. Wider access went with less shrinkage, perhaps due to weaker sealing at the far end. The authors weigh where this tool helps most.
