A search in Scopus within "Article title, Abstract, Keywords" unveils 2,444 documents focused on the biomechanics of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA), mostly on AAA wall stress. Only 24 documents investigated AAA kinematics, an important…

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening condition characterized by permanent enlargement of the aorta, often detected incidentally during imaging for unrelated conditions. Current management relies primarily on aneurysm…

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening condition characterized by the progressive dilation of the aorta, which can lead to rupture if undetected or untreated. Stress-based rupture risk estimation using computational…

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a permanent and irreversible dilation of the lower region of the aorta. It is typically an asymptomatic condition that if left untreated can expand to the point of rupture. Mechanically-speaking, rupture…

Objective: Arterial stiffness is an important marker to predict cardio vascular events. Common measurement techniques to determine the condition of the aorta are limited to the acquisition of the arterial pulse wave at the extremities. The…

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) pose a significant clinical risk due to their potential for rupture, which is often asymptomatic but can be fatal. Although maximum diameter is commonly used for risk assessment, diameter alone is…

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) wall stress is a candidate rupture risk marker but is typically computed from single-phase images without known cardiac phase. Linear stress recovery methods, which solve a single geometrically linear…

Purpose. It has been reported clinically that rupture or dissections in thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) often occur due to hypertension which may be modelled with sudden increase of peripheral resistance, inducing acute changes of blood…

Ultrasound Atomic Force Microscopy (US-AFM) has been used for subsurface imaging of nanostructures. The contact stiffness variations have been suggested as the origin of the image contrast. Therefore, to analyze the image contrast, the…

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are local dilatations in the abdominal aorta occurring due to weakening of arterial wall. The present work investigates the influence of the ratio of maximum transverse diameter to abdominal height (DHr) on…

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening condition characterized by the irreversible dilation of the lower aorta, usually detected incidentally during imaging for other health issues. Current clinical practice for managing…

Background In vivo mechanical behaviour of the abdominal wall has been poorly characterised and important details are missing regarding the occurrence and post-operative recurrence rate of hernias which can be as high as 30 %. This study…

We propose a deep learning-based technique for detection and quantification of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). The condition, which leads to more than 10,000 deaths per year in the United States, is asymptomatic, often detected…

The rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is associated with a high mortality. When an AAA ruptures, 50% of the patients die before reaching the hospital. Of the patients that are able to reach the operating room, only 50% have it…

Arterial pulse waves contain clinically useful information: their intensity varies with cardiac performance, their speed (pulse wave velocity; PWV) depends on arterial stiffness and their reflection is affected by conduit artery tone. Here…

Elastic properties of arteries have long been recognized as playing a major role in the cardiovascular system. However, non-invasive in vivo assessment of local arterial stiffness remains challenging and imprecise as current techniques rely…

Arterial biomechanical indicators have long been recognized as fundamental contributors to the physiology and pathology of cardiovascular systems. Probing the multiple biomechanical parameters of arteries simultaneously at different time…

The study concerns mechanical behaviour of a living human abdominal wall. A better mechanical understanding of a human abdominal wall and recognition of its material properties is required to find mechanically compatible surgical meshes to…

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are pathologic dilatations of the abdominal aorta posing a high fatality risk upon rupture. Studying AAA progression and rupture risk often involves in-silico blood flow modelling with computational fluid…

Numerical simulations have been extensively used in the past two decades for the study of intracranial aneurysms (IAs), a dangerous disease that occurs in the arteries that reach the brain. They may affect up to 10 % of the world's…
