Biomechanical factors play fundamental roles in the natural history of abdominal aortic
aneurysms (AAAs) and their responses to treatment. Advances during the past two decades …

Most computational models of abdominal aortic aneurysms address either the
hemodynamics within the lesion or the mechanics of the wall. More recently, however, some …

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 …

Collagen is the most abundant protein in mammals and provides the abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA) wall with mechanical strength, stiffness and toughness. Specifically, the …

Objective To translate the individual abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) patient's
biomechanical rupture risk profile to risk-equivalent diameters, and to retrospectively test …

Both the clinically established diameter criterion and novel approaches of computational
finite element (FE) analyses for rupture risk stratification of abdominal aortic aneurysms …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is often accompanied by in traluminal thrombus (ILT),
which complicates AAA progression and risk of rupture. Patient-specific computational fluid …

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 …

In simulation of cardiovascular processes and diseases patient-specific model parameters,
such as constitutive properties, are usually not easy to obtain. Instead of using population …

It remains difficult to predict when which patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) will
require surgery. The aim was to study the accuracy of geometric and biomechanical analysis …
