Objective This review describes ongoing efforts to develop a medical therapy to limit
abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) growth. Methods Data from animal model studies, human …

The developmental origin, anatomical location, and other factors contribute to aortic
heterogeneity in a physiological state. On this basis, vascular diseases occur at different …

Aortic aneurysm is a permanent focal dilation of the aorta. It is usually an asymptomatic
disease but can lead to sudden death due to aortic rupture. Aortic aneurysm-related …

Aneurysms are characterized by structural deterioration of the vascular wall leading to
progressive dilatation and, potentially, rupture of the aorta. While aortic aneurysms often …

The biomechanics-based Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) rupture risk assessment has
gained considerable scientific and clinical momentum. However, such studies have mainly …

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm represents a distinct group of vascular lesions, in
