Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) causes∼ 170 000 deaths annually worldwide. Most
guidelines recommend asymptomatic small AAAs (30 to< 50 mm in women; 30 to< 55 mm in …

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) has long been recognized as a condition predominantly
affecting males, with sex-associated differences described for almost every aspect of the …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture is a local event in the aneurysm wall that naturally
demands tools to assess the risk for local wall rupture. Consequently, global parameters like …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a complex multifactorial disease with genetic and
environmental components. AAA is more common in men, whereas women have a greater …

PURPOSE: To test the hypothesis that ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are
globally weaker than unruptured ones. METHODS: Four ruptured and seven unruptured …

The development of the vascular system was a critical step in the evolution of species. It
allowed organisms to meet the growing metabolic demands and opened the door for the …

Varying degrees of calcification are present in most abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs).
However, their impact on AAA failure properties and AAA rupture risk is unclear. The aim of …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a vascular disorder with a high case fatality rate in the
instance of rupture. AAA is a multifactorial disease, and the etiology is still not fully …

OBJECTIVE: The main purpose of the present study is the investigation of gender
differences in the biomechanical properties, thrombus age, mass fraction and key clinical …
