There is a need to understand why and where the abdominal aortic aneurysm may rupture.
Our goal therefore is to investigate whether the mechanical properties are different in …

The regional distribution of wall thickness and failure properties in human abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA) was explored. Three unruptured and one ruptured AAA were harvested as …

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 …

Abstract Knowledge of the biomechanical behavior of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) as
compared to nonaneurysmal aorta may provide information on the natural history of this …

Finite element analysis (FEA), a computer-based method for solving complex structural
problems, was used to determine the wall stress distribution in three cases of model …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the biomechanical
properties of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) wall tissue from patients who experienced …

To estimate when an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) may rupture, it is necessary to
understand the forces responsible for this event. We investigated the wall stresses in an AAA …

Biomechanical studies suggest that one determinant of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
rupture is related to the stress in the wall. In this regard, a reliable and accurate stress …

Background. The decision to repair an asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is
currently based on diameter (≥ 5.5 cm) alone. However, aneurysms less than 5.5 cm do …

Rupture of the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) occurs when the local wall stress exceeds
the local wall strength. Knowledge of AAA wall mechanics plays a fundamental role in the …
