Aortic Wall Behavior as a Predictor of Aortic Aneurysm Growth and Rupture
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Contrast Ultrasound for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Completed, enrolled 66 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal is to non-invasively study the metabolic processes within the aortic wall that are thought to explain progression to clinical manifestations of an aortic aneurysm. Hypothesis is that the non-invasive imaging of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) with contrast ultrasound, coupled with serum biomarker measurements will allow the identification of the vulnerable aortic wall and patients who are at risk of AAA growth or rupture.

Interventions
Definity® is the contrast agent that will be administered by intravenous injection by a registered nurse during the ultrasound (contrast enhanced ultrasound (CUS). The purpose is to assist in identifying differences in AAA characteristics based on gender and AAA stability and growth.
