Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients \>18 years of age with ability to provide informed consent.
  • Patients with either symptomatic or asymptomatic AAA as defined by aortic diameter ≥ 1.5x normal diameter.
  • Patients with non-aneurysmal aortas who require aortic contrast imaging or echocardiography for preoperative planning or other reason.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with contraindication to IV contrast such as allergy or severe kidney dysfunction.
  • Patients who do not require contrast imaging or echocardiogram as part of their care plan.
