Common indications for performance of this examination include, but are not limited to:

• Pulsatile abdominal mass
• The presence of an aneurysm of another anatomical location, (e.g., iliac, common femoral, popliteal arteries)
• A history of hypertension with a family history of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and age >50 years old.
• Surveillance of known abdominal aortic or iliac artery aneurysm.
• Aortic coarctation
• Severe sudden pain in the abdomen or lower back
• Evidence of distal arterial emboli
• Evidence of lower extremity inflow (aortoiliac) arterial disease (e.g., absent common femoral pulse and/or buttock claudication that interferes with patient’s life style or ischemic rest pain, or following lower extremity physiological studies that indicate inflow disease)
• Surveillance of arterial vascular intervention/reconstruction
• Abdominal and/or groin bruit
• Post-endograft surveillance
