Ultrasound Evaluation of the Abdominal Aorta and Mesenteric Arteries.

The authors review ultrasound (US) imaging findings of the abdominal aorta and mesenteric arteries, with a focus on screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and posttreatment follow-up. US is the primary imaging modality used to screen for AAA and for surveillance of aneurysms for growth after initial diagnosis. US and contrast-enhanced US may play a greater role in patient follow-up status post-endovascular aneurysm repairs. US is also the initial recommended imaging modality for suspected chronic mesenteric ischemia. Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
