“…The conclusion of the study was that the newest, miniaturised colour Doppler ultrasound technology has a variety of applications that may improve patient outcomes and experience in plastic surgery [26]. Besides abdominal diagnostic use, the Lumify and the Visiq ultrasound devices were used in abdominal imaging, emergency, and general imaging [26–29] (Figs. 6, 7).…”

The use of portable ultrasound (US) devices has increased in recent years and the market has been flourishing. Portable US devices can be subdivided into three groups: laptop-associated devices, hand-carried US, and handheld US devices. Almost all companies we investigated offer at least one portable US device. Portable US can also be associated with the use of different US techniques such as colour Doppler US and pulse wave (PW)-Doppler. Laptop systems will also be available with contrast-enhanced US and high-end cardiac functionality. Portable US devices are effective in the hands of experienced examiners. Imaging quality is predictably inferior to so-called high-end devices. The present paper is focused on portable US devices and clinical applications describing their possible use in different organs and clinical settings, keeping in mind that patient safety must never be compromised. Hence, portable devices must undergo the same decontamination assessment and protocols as the standard equipment, especially smartphones and tablets.

“…Bidirectional blood flow or low peak flow rates are associated with spontaneous occlusion of the endoleak [45, 48 -50]. However, the rate of false-positive and false-negative findings is highly dependent on the experience of the examiner and the ultrasound system being used [8,26].…”

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in the Follow-Up of Endoleaks after Endovascular Aortic Repair (EVAR)

Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) has become established in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms and shows potential benefits such as a low perioperative morbidity and a short hospitalization duration. The follow-up after EVAR primarily consists of lifelong postinterventional imaging of the aneurysm size in order to detect complications such as endoleaks or stent dislocation. Computed tomography angiography, an imaging modality that uses ionizing radiation and that relies on a contrast medium which is dependent on thyroid and renal function, is widely used for follow-up. Meanwhile, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has been established as a viable, fast and cost-effective imaging alternative for the follow-up and the detection of endoleaks after EVAR with the additional benefit of being a real-time non-ionizing radiation examination and having comparable or even superior diagnostic performance. This review describes the use of CEUS for follow-up after EVAR and describes the most common pathologies.
