Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAAs) is a permanent and irreversible dilation of the infrarenal section of the aorta. These aneurysms are typically defined as having a diameter 50% greater than the normal aortic diameter. If ...

A range of silicone rubbers were created based on existing commercially available materials. These silicones were designed to be visually different from one another and have distinct material properties, in particular, ...

BACKGROUND: Aneurysms, in particular abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), form a significant portion of cardiovascular related deaths. There is much debate as to the most suitable tool for rupture prediction and interventional ...

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture remains a significant cause of death in the developed world. Current treatment approaches rely heavily on the size of the aneurysm to decide on the most appropriate time for clinical ...

BACKGROUND: Endovascular repair is fast becoming the treatment of choice for abdominal aortic aneurysms in anatomically suitable patients. 3D reconstructions not only aid conventional 2D measurements but also allow further ...

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture is believed to occur when the local mechanical stress exceeds the local mechanical strength of the wall tissue. On the basis of this hypothesis, the knowledge of the stress acting ...

PURPOSE: To identify the rupture locations of idealized physical models of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) using an in-vitro setup and to compare the findings to those predicted numerically. METHODS: Five idealized AAAs ...

Currently, abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), which are a permanent dilation of the aorta, are treated surgically when the maximum transverse diameter surpasses 5.5cm. AAA rupture occurs when the locally acting wall stress ...

Intimal hyperplasia development in the downstream anastomosis of a peripheral bypass grafts has been the subject of much investigation due to its site specific focal development at specific sites within the junction. ...
Dimensional restrictions in electronic equipment have resulted in miniaturisation of many existing cooling technologies. In addition, cooling solutions are required to dissipate increased thermal loads to maintain component ...
