Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Screening studies for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) in 65 to 79 years aged men, have shown a significant reduction in AAA related mortality. In addition, the cost-effectiveness of screening for AAA in men in the Netherlands has been demonstrated by using a Markov model. Screening might be even more (cost-) effective if targeted on high risk groups, such as patients with a particular cardiovascular disease with a known increased risk of having an AAA.

Project SCAN (Screening CardioVascular patients for Aortic aNeurysms) is a project focused on targeted AAA screening to proactively diagnose patients at high risk of having an aneurysm that eventually may rupture. This pilot project aims to study the value of a screening protocol in daily practice to detect AAA's in high risk patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

1. Offering PAD and CAD patients a non-invasive abdominal ultrasound after a careful process of shared-decision making
2. Recording data on aneurysm detection on all PAD and CAD patients screened:

1. General information (age, gender)
2. Medical history on CardioVascular risk factors (such as smoking history, hypertension, and other cardiovascular medical conditions - only information that is already recorded in the patient's medical history chart)
3. AAA - Yes/ No (Yes if ≥3 cm AAA)
4. If ≥3 cm aneurysm, record exact size and outcome in time (surveillance, treatment, no treatment)
5. If treated, record treatment type (EVAR or Open) and outcome
