Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to assess if venous distension in patients with aneurysmatic arteriopathy is higher compared to patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) and in controls.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal Popliteal Artery Aneurysm Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease Vascular Diseases Aortic Diseases Varicose Veins

Detailed Description

Patients with aortic aneurysm and patients with PAOD and Controls will be investigated in the following manner: Duplexsonography with assessment of the arterial diameters in the aorta and leg arteries. Duplexsonography with assessment of venous reflux in proximal and deep veins of both legs Duplexsonography testing of venous distension in the common femoral vein, the great saphenous vein and the femoral vein.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Aneurysmatic disease Patients with dilatative arteriopathy (DA) the aortic diameter must be > 3 cm or the popliteal artery diameter > 1.5 cm
Peripheral arterial occlusive disease Patients with arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) defined with an Ankle brachial index (ABI) < 0.9 and positive criteria in the Edinburgh questionnaire.
Healthy Control group of age matched persons without PAOD (ABI > 0.9) and without DA.
