An abdominal aortic aneurysm can have serious consequences: if the aorta suddenly ruptures, it is often too late for life-saving surgery. And even then, in many cases, there is no guarantee of survival. Since January 2018, men aged 65 and over have been able to undergo a preventive examination that uses ultrasound to detect dangerous bulges in the aorta at an early stage. Dr. Kusenack also offers this painless screening at his vascular practice in Düsseldorf.
