Detection of Post-traumatic Abdominal Pseudoaneurysms by CEUS and CT: A Prospective Comparative Global Study
Sponsor: Niguarda Hospital
A observational or N/A phase clinical study on Abdominal Trauma and Follow-up in Abdominal Trauma, this trial is actively recruiting participants. The trial is conducted by Niguarda Hospital and has accumulated 6 data snapshots since 2022. Longitudinal tracking of this trial contributes to a broader understanding of treatment development timelines.
Study Description(click to expand)Adult patients (18 years old and above) with proven blunt or penetrating splenic and/or liver and/or renal trauma as shown by a CT scan and classified according to the American Injury Scale American Association for Surgery (AAST) Organ Injury Scale (OIS) with OIS III and above will undergo a follow-up with both a CEUS and CT scan to detect post-traumatic parenchymal pseudoaneurysm within two to five days from injury. Follow-up over five days post-admission will be included if they were performed within the same hospitalization

Eligibility Summary
The researchers aim to study the role of contrast ultrasound in detecting post-traumatic splenic, hepatic, and renal PAs compared with the gold standard of CT with intravenous contrast at different follow-up time points, and whether it can replace CT scan in the follow-up of solid organ injuries
