Aortic dissections and aortic aneurysms are fatal events characterized by structural changes
to the aortic wall. The maximum diameter criterion, typically used for aneurysm rupture risk …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is the dilatation of the aorta beyond 50% of the normal
vessel diameter. It is reported that 4–8% of men and 0.5–1% of women above 50 years of …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a permanent and irreversible dilation of the lower
region of the aorta. It is a symptomless condition that if left untreated can expand to the point …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture remains a significant cause of death in the
developed world. Current treatment approaches rely heavily on the size of the aneurysm to …

The current clinical management of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) disease is based to a
great extent on measuring the aneurysm maximum diameter to decide when timely …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a permanent, irreversible dilation of the distal region of
the aorta. Recent efforts have focused on improved AAA screening and biomechanics …

In recent years, blood flow analyses of diseased arterial mock vessels using particle image
velocimetry (PIV) have been hampered by the inability to fabricate optically clear anatomical …

Mechanical testing of arterial tissue can provide unique insights into its behaviour. As
measurement and computational techniques continue to advance, new applications can be …

Intraluminal thrombus (ILT) is present in 75% of clinically-relevant abdominal aortic
aneurysms (AAAs) yet, despite much research effort, its role in AAA biomechanics remains …

The present study aims at investigating biomechanical failure behaviour of human
aneurismal aortic tissues so as to diagnose the rupture risk of aneurysms more accurately …
