Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are a progressive dilation of the infrarenal aorta and
are characterized by inflammatory cell infiltration, smooth muscle cell migration and …

The abdominal aorta is the portion of the descending aorta between the diaphragm and the
common iliac artery bifurcation. A retroperitoneal structure, it courses through the diaphragm …

Aneurysm hemodynamics is known for its crucial role in the natural history of abdominal
aortic aneurysms (AAA). However, there is a lack of well-developed quantitative …

Background Despite known limitations, the decision to operate on abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA) is primarily on the basis of measurement of maximal aneurysm diameter …

Introduction: Dissection or rupture of the aorta is accompanied by high mortality rates, and
there is a pressing need for better prediction of these events for improved patient …

Background Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are increasingly screen-detected and
many small aneurysms enter surveillance. Computed tomography identifies characteristics …

Background It is recognized that factors beyond aortic size are important in predicting
outcome in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) disease. AAA is characterized by the …

Objectives Rupture risk in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is assessed using AAA
diameter; yet 10% of ruptures occur in a small aneurysm. This underlines the inadequacy of …

Arterial aneurysms are pathological dilations of blood vessels, which can be of clinical
concern due to thrombosis, dissection, or rupture. Aneurysms can form throughout the …

Objective Two consensus histopathological classifications for thoracic aortic aneurysms
(TAAs) and inflammatory aortic diseases have been issued to facilitate clinical decision …
