The Pan African Medical Journal, 2013 An aneurysm is a localized irreversible dilatation of the aortic wall resulting from an alteration of elastic fibers in the media. The main risk is rupture. It depends on the size and growth rate.

Assessment of Aortic Aneurysm Rupture Risk [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 The rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is associated with a high mortality. When an AAA ruptures, 50% of the patients die before reaching the hospital. Of the patients that are able to reach the operating room, only 50% have it successfully repaired (Fillinger et al, 2003).

Virtual Reality Cerebral Aneurysm Clipping Simulation With Real-Time Haptic Feedback
Neurosurgery, 2015 BACKGROUND: With the decrease in the number of cerebral aneurysms treated surgically and the increase of complexity of those treated surgically, there is a need for simulation-based tools to teach future neurosurgeons the operative techniques of aneurysm

Transitional flow in intracranial aneurysms - a space and time refinement study below the Kolmogorov scales using Lattice Boltzmann Method [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Most Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) studies of hemodynamics in intracranial aneurysms are based on the assumption of laminar flow due to a relatively low (below 500) parent artery Reynolds number. A few studies have recently demonstrated the occurrence of transitional flow in aneurysms, but these studies employed special finite element schemes ...

Effect of neck cut position on time to collapse in halal slaughtered cattle without stunning [PDF]
, 2015 This study examined the effect of neck cut position on the time to physical collapse in upright restrained halal slaughtered cattle (n = 644). Time to collapse was used as an indirect indicator of the early stages of onset of unconsciousness. Cattle were

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Venous outflow is the favored access for endovascular management of dialysis fistulas. However, transradial access (TRA) offers advantages in specific clinical scenarios. The study aims to compare the efficacy, feasibility, and safety of TRA and transvenous access (TVA) in the endovascular management of malfunctioning dialysis ...

Duodenal Obstruction after Elective Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: A Case Report
Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2004 Gastrointestinal tract complications after abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair are well known. The reported frequency ranges from 6.6% to 21%. However, the incidence of duodenal obstruction following AAA has probably been underestimated.

Evolution of the wall shear stresses during the progressive enlargement of symmetric abdominal aortic aneurysms. [PDF]
, 2006 The changes in the evolution of the spatial and temporal distribution of the wall shear stresses (WSS) and gradients of wall shear stresses (GWSS) at different stages of the enlargement of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are important in understanding

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We report the case of a 3‐year‐old asymptomatic girl (12 kg, 96 cm) who was diagnosed with a large iatrogenic left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP) on follow‐up ultrasound, 14 months after apical muscular ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure with a 10 mm Amplatzer Muscular VSD occluder (Abbott, USA) due to device erosion.
