Ultrasonography versus computed tomography scan for endoleak detection after endoluminal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a life threatening condition and patients might need lifelong monitoring after treatment. Ultrasonogaphy is sometimes used for this and a new Cochrane Review from June 2017 looks at its accuracy. The review was done by a team from Italy and Kathy Mahan from the Cochrane Neurosciences group, also based in Italy, tells us what they found. (Source: Podcasts from The Cochrane Library)

Has the balance of screening for AAA tipped towards harm?
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are usually asymptomatic until they rupture, which is fatal in more than 80% of cases.
Screening aims to detect the aneurysm before it ruptures, enabling preventive surgery and hence reducing morbidity and mortality. However, preventive surgery has a mortality of 3.9-4.5%.
As the prevalence of risk factors, ie... (Source: The BMJ Podcast)

Screening aims to detect the aneurysm before it ruptures, enabling preventive surgery and hence reducing morbidity and mortality. However, preventive surgery has a mortality of 3.9-4.5%.
As the prevalence of risk factors, ie smoking, decreases and the definition of the condition is expanded, Minna Johansson from the University of Gothenburg and colleagues wonder if the balance of benefit and harm may have tipped.
