We present a survey of recent advancements in the emerging field of patient-specific
modeling (PSM). Researchers in this field are currently simulating a wide variety of tissue …

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 …

Objective Aortic diameter as the primary criterion in the decision to repair abdominal aortic
aneurysms (AAAs) has drawbacks as some rupture below size thresholds, whereas others …

Geometric features of the aorta are linked to patient risk of rupture in the clinical decision to
electively repair an ascending aortic aneurysm (AsAA). Previous approaches have focused …

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a balloon-like dilation of the aorta, which is
potentially fatal in case of rupture. Computational finite element (FE) analysis is a promising …

Arterial walls can be regarded as composite materials consisting of collagen fibers
embedded in an elastic matrix and smooth muscle cells. Remodeling of the structural …

Recent studies have shown that the maximum transverse diameter of an abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA) and expansion rate are not entirely reliable indicators of rupture potential …

OBJECTIVE: The intraluminal thrombus (ILT) present in the majority of abdominal aortic
aneurysms (AAAs) plays an important role in aneurysm wall weakening. Studying the age …

BACKGROUND: Surgical management of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (aTAAs)
relies on maximum diameter, growth rate, and presence of connective tissue disorders …

OBJECTIVE: To study the correlation between peak wall stress (PWS) and abdominal aorta
aneurysm (AAA) geometric parameters in the presence of intraluminal thrombus (ILT) …
