[HTML][HTML] Association of 3-year all-cause mortality and peak wall stresses of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms in veterans

Risk of aortic dissection in ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms is not sufficiently captured
by size-based metrics. From a biomechanical perspective, dissection may be initiated when
wall stress exceeds wall strength. Our objective was to assess the association between
aneurysm peak wall stresses and 3-year all-cause mortality. Finite element analysis was
performed in 273 veterans with chest computed tomography for surveillance of ascending
thoracic aortic aneurysms. Three-dimensional geometries were reconstructed and models …
