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 …

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

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 …

The numerical models of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in use do not take into account
the non-Newtonian behavior of blood and the development of local turbulence. This study …

Abdominal aortic aneurysms occur in as much as 2–3% of the population, and their rupture
produces a mortality rate of 78–94%(1), causing 15,000 deaths per year in the US alone. As …

In a continuing investigation into the mechanical factors that lead to rupture of abdominal
aortic aneurysms, wall pressure and shear stress measurements are presented for steady …

The hydrodynamic stability of cyclic flows inside rigid abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
models was investigated. Rectified sine waveforms were used to simulate aortic flow …

During the last 30 years, research into the pathogenesis and progression of cardiovascular
disease has had to employ a multidisciplinary approach involving a wide range of subject …

As an investigation into the mechanical factors that lead to rupture of abdominal aortic
aneurysms, both color Doppler flow imaging and laser Doppler velocimetry measurements …

Objective—To describe an unusual case of fatal aortic aneurysm rupture after standard
ligation of a left‐to‐right shunting patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and review the literature …
