Background Decision-making related to the care of patients with an abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA) is complex. Aneurysms present with varying risks of rupture, and patient …

Large aortic aneurysm and acute and chronic aortic dissection are pathologies of the aorta
requiring surgery. Recent advances in medical intervention have improved patient …

Computational methods have played an important role in health care in recent years, as
determining parameters that affect a certain medical condition is not possible in …

Wall shear stress (WSS) has been shown to be associated with myocardial infarction (MI)
and progression of atherosclerosis. Wall elasticity is an important feature of hemodynamic …

A rupture risk assessment is critical to the clinical treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm
(AAA) patients. The biomechanical AAA rupture risk assessment quantitatively integrates …

Computational modelling of the cardiovascular system offers much promise, but represents
a truly interdisciplinary challenge, requiring knowledge of physiology, mechanics of …

Cerebral aneurysms are the bulges in arteries that have the potential to rupture, as thin-
walled regions of an aneurysm are more vulnerable. Understanding the correlation between …

Objectives Biomechanical characteristics, such as wall stress, are important in the
pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and can be visualised and quantified …

Purpose: To review the use of biomechanical indices for the estimation of abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA) rupture risk, emphasizing their potential use in a clinical setting. Methods: A …

Background: The effects of non-Newtonian rheology and boundary conditions on various
pathophysiologies have been studied quite extensively in the literature. The majority of …
