Contrast-enhanced ultrasound microbubble uptake and abnormal plasma biomarkers are seen in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms

Objective: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) growth is unpredictable. We hypothesize that contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) imaging and plasma inflammatory biomarkers (PIBs) may detect AAA wall inflammation. Methods: Patients with an AAA diameter ≥4 cm had CEUS and PIB testing at enrollment and ever...
