Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a condition whereby the terminal aorta permanently
dilates to dangerous proportions, risking rupture. The biomechanics of AAA has been …

Rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) represents a significant clinical event, having a
mortality rate of 90% and being currently ranked as the 13th leading cause of death in the …

Purpose: Our previous computer models suggested that intraluminal thrombus (ILT) within
an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) attenuates oxygen diffusion to the AAA wall, possibly …

Purpose: Risk for rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm is widely believed to be related to
its maximum diameter. From a biomechanical standpoint, however, risk is probably more …

Purpose: The role of intraluminal thrombus (ILT) on abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture is
still not clear. Rupture of an aneurysm occurs when the wall stress exceeds the wall strength …

OBJECTIVE: Investigation of the predictability of finite element (FE) models regarding
rupture risk assessment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). MATERIALS AND …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) disease is a degenerating process whose ultimate event
is the rupture of the vessel wall. Rupture occurs when the stresses acting on the wall rise …

A bdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common problem with life-threatening
consequences. Although the threat of ruptured AAAs has captured the attention of surgeons …

Purpose: A pathologic feature commonly associated with abdominal aortic aneurysms is the
presence of variably sized and shaped intraluminal thrombus, which may be fundamental to …

Accurate estimation of the wall stress distribution in an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
may prove clinically useful by predicting when a particular aneurysm will rupture …
