Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a condition whereby the terminal aorta permanently
dilates to dangerous proportions, risking rupture. The biomechanics of AAA has been …

Intracranial saccular and abdominal aortic aneurysms (ISAs and AAAs, respectively) result
from different underlying disease processes and exhibit different rupture potentials, yet they …

Objectives: We previously showed that peak abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) wall stress
calculated for aneurysms in vivo is higher at rupture than at elective repair. The purpose of …

Knowledge of the wall stresses in an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) may be helpful in
evaluating the need for surgical intervention to avoid rupture. This must be preceded by the …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to calculate abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) wall
stresses in vivo for ruptured, symptomatic, and electively repaired AAAs with three …

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 …

Purpose: The role of intraluminal thrombus (ILT) on abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture is
still not clear. Rupture of an aneurysm occurs when the wall stress exceeds the wall strength …

Purpose: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture is believed to occur when the
mechanical stress acting on the wall exceeds the strength of the wall tissue. Therefore …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) disease is a degenerating process whose ultimate event
is the rupture of the vessel wall. Rupture occurs when the stresses acting on the wall rise …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture is the 13th commonest cause of death in the
Western World. Although considerable research has been applied to the aetiology and …
