摘要
The perioperative mortality associated with emergency abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery can be as high as 50%(1) whereas it is 5-10% for an elective procedure.(2) It is therefore recommended that patients undergo prophylactic surgery if the diameter exceeds 55 mm.(3) The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential and diagnostic accuracy of a recently developed portable hand-held ultrasound system for screening AAA. A standard two-dimensional echographic system was used as a reference (S.E.).
