A Markov decision analysis model to aid the vascular surgeon in the management of a patient with an asymptomatic infra-renal abdominal aortic aneurysm [PDF]
Introduction Despite increasing evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of endovascular (EVAR) and open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, it is often unclear which technique is most appropriate for an individual patient.

Aneurysm growth and de novo aneurysms during aneurysm surveillance [PDF]
OBJECTIVE Many low-risk unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) are followed for growth with surveillance imaging. Growth of UIAs likely increases the risk of rupture. The incidence and risk factors of UIA growth or de novo aneurysm formation require further research. The authors retrospectively identify risk factors and annual risk for UIA growth or

Observations from the IMPROVE trial concerning the clinical care of patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Single-centre series of the management of patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are usually too small to identify clinical factors that could improve patient outcomes.

Biomechanical Modeling of Cerebral Aneurysm Progression to Estimate Rupture Risk
A cerebral aneurysm is a medical condition described as the bulging out of the cerebral artery under adverse pressure conditions. Patients with such medical conditions have a mortality of 20% and additional morbidity of 30–40% due to aneurysm rupture ...

Placement of an aortomonoiliac stent graft without femorofemoral revascularization in endovascular aneurysm repair: a case report [PDF]
Introduction: Endovascular aortic repair, if technically feasible, is the treatment of choice for patients with a contained ruptured aortic aneurysm who are unfit for open surgery. Case presentation: We report the case of an 80-year-old Caucasian man who

High-intensity interval exercise training before abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (HIT-AAA): protocol for a randomised controlled feasibility trial [PDF]
Introduction: In patients with large abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), open surgical or endovascular aneurysm repair procedures are often used to minimise the risk of aneurysm-related rupture and death; however, aneurysm repair itself carries a high risk.

The arterial aneurysm refers to localized dilation of blood vessel wall and is common in general population. The majority of aneurysm cases remains asymptomatic until a sudden rupture which is usually fatal and of extremely high mortality (~ 50–60 ...

From aneurysm to aneurysmal vasculopathies [PDF]
Today, aneurysms raise a number of challenges. Medical challenge: The emergency and severity of the pathology have led to passionate debates that unfortunately stall progress in our knowledge of the underlying disease (or diseases). Indeed we can suppose that some measure of bleeding, perhaps even early recurring hemorrhage, has gone undiscovered and ...

The 'Sphere': A Dedicated Bifurcation Aneurysm Flow-Diverter Device. [PDF]
We present flow-based results from the early stage design cycle, based on computational modeling, of a prototype flow-diverter device, known as the 'Sphere', intended to treat bifurcation aneurysms of the cerebral vasculature.
