The Relationship Between Surface Curvature and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Wall Stress
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The maximum diameter (MD) criterion is the most important factor when predicting risk of rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). An elevated wall stress has also been linked to a high risk of aneurysm rupture, yet ...
A Methodology for Verifying Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Wall Stress
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a permanent focal dilatation of the abdominal aorta of at least 1.5 times its normal diameter. Although the criterion of maximum diameter is still used in clinical practice to decide ...
