Endovascular Aneurysm Repair for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) [PDF]

The Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2007
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are common in the industrialised world, causing 2% of all male deaths over 55 years of age, with a male to female ratio of 4:1. Risk factors are essentially those of atherosclerosis (tobacco use, hypertension, male sex and a family history of AAA).

Carotid artery vasoreactivity correlates with abdominal aortic vasoreactivity in young healthy individuals but not in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm

Current Research in Physiology, 2022
Background: Sympathetic stimulation of central arteries, such as coronary and carotid arteries, cause vasodilation in healthy subjects, but vasoconstriction in those with increased cardiovascular risk.

HEMODYNAMIC FEATURES ASSOCIATED WITH ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM (AAA) GEOMETRY [PDF]

Journal of Biomechanics, 2012
Recent findings have shown that maximum diameter of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and its growth rate are not entirely reliable indicators of rupture potential. The AAA geometrical shape and size may be related to the rupture risk which is a clinical manifestation of the balance between the forces generated by blood flow within the AAA and its ...
