Imaging of abdominal aortic aneurysm disease activity and implications for endovascular aneurysm repair
BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic aneurysm treatment pathways are initiated when an aortic size threshold of 55 mm is reached as this signifies a high annual risk of rupture due to presumed active aneurysm disease. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is one treatment modality which reduces the …

Fluid Flow Characterization and In Silico Validation in a Rapid Prototyped Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Model
<p>Aortic aneurysms are the 14<sup>th</sup> leading cause of death in the United States. Annually, abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) ruptures are responsible for 4500 deaths. There are another 45,000 repair procedures performed to prevent rupture, and of these approximately 1400 lead to deaths. With …

Quantifying AAAs and developing FEA models for stent grafts
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is an irreversible dilation of the lower section of the aorta that poses lethal threat to the patient. Medical intervention has been conducted for decades via open surgery, yet more recently, the minimally invasive technique of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is …
