Brief Summary

Screening studies for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) in 65 to 79 years aged men, have shown a significant reduction in AAA related mortality. In addition, the cost-effectiveness of screening for AAA in men in the Netherlands has been demonstrated by using a Markov model. Screening might be even more (cost-) effective if targeted on high risk groups, such as patients with a particular cardiovascular disease with a known increased risk of having an AAA. Project SCAN (Screening CardioVascular patients for Aortic aNeurysms) is a project focused on targeted AAA screening to proactively diagnose patients at high risk of having an aneurysm that eventually may rupture. This pilot project aims to study the value of a screening protocol in daily practice to detect AAA's in high risk patients.
