Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) disease, the local enlargement of the infrarenal aorta, is a
serious condition that causes many deaths, especially in men exceeding 65 years of age …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture remains a significant cause of death in the
developed world. Current treatment approaches rely heavily on the size of the aneurysm to …

Knowledge of the wall stresses in an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) may be helpful in
evaluating the need for surgical intervention to avoid rupture. This must be preceded by the …

The current clinical management of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) disease is based to a
great extent on measuring the aneurysm maximum diameter to decide when timely …

Abstract An Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is an enlargement of the infrarenal aorta, a
serious condition whose clinical treatment requires assessing its risk of rupture. This chapter …

A rupture risk assessment is critical to the clinical treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm
(AAA) patients. The biomechanical AAA rupture risk assessment quantitatively integrates …

Background Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are the 13 th leading cause of
death in the United States. While AAA rupture may occur without significant warning, its risk …

OBJECTIVE: In principle, superiority of computational wall stress analyses compared with
the maximum diameter criterion for rupture risk evaluation of abdominal aortic aneurysm …

Biomechanics-based assessment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) rupture risk has
gained considerable scientific and clinical momentum. However, computation of peak wall …

Objective Several studies of biomechanical rupture risk assessment (BRRA) showed its
advantage over the diameter criterion in rupture risk assessment of abdominal aortic …
