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

The formation of an arterial aneurysm is believed to be a multifactorial and predominantly
degenerative process, resulting from a complex interplay between biological processes in …

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) affect 5–7% of older Americans. We hypothesize that
exercise may slow AAA growth by decreasing inflammatory burden, peripheral resistance …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is the dilatation of the aorta beyond 50% of the normal
vessel diameter. It is reported that 4–8% of men and 0.5–1% of women above 50 years of …

In the abdominal segment of the human aorta under a patient's average resting conditions,
pulsatile blood flow exhibits complex laminar patterns with secondary flows induced by …

The changes in the evolution of the spatial and temporal distribution of the wall shear
stresses (WSS) and gradients of wall shear stresses (GWSS) at different stages of the …

Pulsatile flow in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) models has been examined in order to
understand the hemodynamics that may contribute to growth of an AAA. The model studies …

Despite advances in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), the pathogenesis
of aneurysmal disease remains obscure. Aneurysm screening programmes have …

In this work, the impact of modeling techniques on predicting the mechanical behaviors of
abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is systematically investigated. The fluid‐structure …

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are an increasingly common and potentially lethal
condition. Surgical repair of AAA is now yet performed quite safely, yet ruptured AAAs still …
