New York, NY (September 4, 2002) - A simple, low-cost ultrasound screening of men over 60 is not only reliably accurate in detecting abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) but is cost-effective in increasing quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). That is the finding of physicians from the Division of Vascular Surgery of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical College, in an article published in the latest issue of the journal "Surgery". The authors, led by Dr. K. Craig Kent, Chief of the Division of Vascular Surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, conclude that screening for AAA in men over 60 should be covered by insurance plans, including Medicare. At present, no major plan provides for such coverage.ÊNewYork-Presbyterian's Division of Vascular Surgery has played a leading role in developing the new "Quick Screen" technology, which can be applied to women as well as men.
