Background—The relationship between biomechanical properties and biological activities in
aortic aneurysms was investigated with finite element simulations and 18F-fluoro-deoxy …

Background Monitoring the expansion of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is critical to
avoid aneurysm rupture in surveillance programs, for instance. However, measuring the …

Chronic infusion of angiotensin-II in atheroprone (ApoE−/−) mice provides a reproducible
model of dissection in the suprarenal abdominal aorta, often with a false lumen and …

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 …

Objective New tools are urgently needed to help with surgical decision-making in type B
aortic dissection (TBAD) that is uncomplicated at the time of initial presentation. This …

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

Purpose: To investigate the influence of the local diameter, the intraluminal thrombus (ILT)
thickness, and wall stress on the local growth rate of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Methods …

Dissection of an artery is characterised by the separation of the layers of the arterial wall
causing blood to flow within the wall. The incidence rates of thoracic aortic dissection (AoD) …

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 …

We present a data-informed, highly personalized, probabilistic approach for the
quantification of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture risk. Our novel framework builds …
