UVA Brain and Aortic Aneurysm Study
Status unconfirmed
Conditions studied: Intracranial Aneurysm, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
In brief
The purpose of this study is to examine the percentage of patients who present with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) will also have intracranial aneurysms (IA) and conversely; to examine the percentage of patients who present with intracranial aneurysms will also have abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Who can join
Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.
You may qualify if…
- Age 18 years or older
- Clinical and radiographic diagnosis of either abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) or intracranial cerebral aneurysm (IA). Aneurysm may be symptomatic (s/p rupture or mass effect) or asymptomatic (detected as part of screening or incidentally discovered. Aneurysms int he brain may be multiple. AAA will be defined as >= 3 cm by any imaging modality. IA will be defined as >= 3 mm on any imaging modality.
- Able to provide a valid informed consent (self or legally authorized representative)
You may not qualify if…
- Contra-indication for MRI/A (embedded metal, intractable claustrophobia, pacemaker, etc.)
- Intracranial aneurysm associated with arteriovenous malformation
- Clinical or radiographic diagnosis of mycotic aneurysm
- Substantial pre-existing neurological or psychiatric illness that would confound neurological assessment or other outcome assessment.
- Other serious conditions that make the patient unlikely to survive long enough to benefit from the screening program.
- Inability to follow the protocol or return for screening test or genetic counseling.
- Unwilling to have reports from imaging and genetic counselor sent to a clinician (PCP, testing surgeon, etc)
- Note: Pregnancy is not a reason to exclude, but imaging done for the study will be postponed until after the subject has given birth.
