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 ...

A brachiobasilic arteriovenous fistula (BB-AVF) can provide access for haemodialysis in patients who are not eligible for a more superficial fistula. However, it is unclear whether one or two-stage BB-AVF is the best option ...

Introduction: A well-functioning arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the best modality for vascular access in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring haemodialysis (HD). However, AVFs' main disadvantage is the ...

Non-maturation and post-maturation venous stenosis are the primary causes of failure
within arteriovenous fistulae (AVFs). Although the exact mechanisms triggering failure
remain unclear, abnormal hemodynamic profiles ...

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 ...

Background: Due to the limited number of experimental studies that mechanically
characterise human atherosclerotic plaque tissue from the femoral arteries, a recent
trend has emerged in current literature whereby one set ...

Purpose: Currently, abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), which are a permanent dilation of the aorta, are treated surgically when the maximum transverse diameter surpasses 5.0cm. AAA rupture occurs when the locally acting ...

Despite the proven efficacy of carotid endarterectomy (CEA), great interest has been
generated in carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) as an alternative to CEA. The
stretch caused by balloon angioplasty deployment ...

This paper aims to identify the rupture locations of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Dow Corning Sylgard 184 was mechanically characterised. Five idealised models were then manufactured using this silicone rubber which were ...

IntroductionThe objective of this study was to determine if a synthetic bone substitute would provide results similar to bone from osteoporotic femoral heads during in vitro testing with orthopaedic implants. If the synthetic ...

(Elsevier, 2008)
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 ...
