Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture is an important cause of death in adults. Currently,
the only treatment for AAA is open or endovascular surgical repair. In most parts of the …

Despite declining incidence and mortality rates in many countries, the abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA) continues to represent a life-threatening cardiovascular condition with an …

Background Decision-making related to the care of patients with an abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA) is complex. Aneurysms present with varying risks of rupture, and patient …

Purpose Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a common degenerative vascular disorder
associated with sudden death due to aortic rupture. This review describes epidemiology …

Abstract Background Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) represent a complex multifactorial
hemodynamic, thrombotic, and inflammatory process that can ultimately result in aortic …

Purpose Intraluminal thrombus (ILTs) are found in most abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs)
of clinically relevant size; however, the role of ILTs in AAA ruptures remains unclear. This …

Objective The use of low-dose aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid [ASA]) has been suggested to
attenuate growth of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), yet solid clinical evidence of this …

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) represent a focal dilation of the aorta exceeding 1.5
times its normal diameter. It is reported that 4–8% of men and 0.5–1% of women above 50 …

Purpose: To evaluate a finite element analysis (FEA) model as a predictive tool for
abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture risk assessment. Methods: FEA of asymptomatic …

Objective Finite element analysis (FEA) has been suggested to be superior to maximal
diameter measurements in predicting rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Our …
