Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, 2018 Objective— Abdominal aortic aneurysms are inflammatory in nature and are associated with some risk factors that also lead to atherosclerotic occlusive disease, most notably smoking.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm in women [PDF]
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2001 The purpose of this study was to compare abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) associations in men and women.Veterans aged 50 to 79 years without a previous history of AAA underwent ultrasound screening for AAA after completing a questionnaire on demographic information and potential risk factors.A total of 122,272 men and 3450 women were successfully ...

A 60-year-old woman with asymptomatic total thoracic–abdominal aortic aneurysm
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2021 Introduction Total thoracic–abdominal aortic aneurysm is a rare disease in cardiovascular surgery, with high surgical risk and high mortality. Surgery is considered the most effective treatment for total aortic aneurysms.

Nature Communications, 2018 Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are characterized by extensive extracellular matrix (ECM) fragmentation and inflammation. However, the mechanisms by which these events are coupled thereby fueling focal vascular damage are undefined.

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

Diabetes and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms [PDF]
European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2014 Epidemiologic evidence suggests that patients with diabetes may have a lower incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA); however, the link between diabetes and AAA development and expansion is unclear. The aim of this review is to analyze updated evidence to better understand the impact of diabetes on prevalence, incidence, clinical outcome, and ...

Inflammatory Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms [PDF]
European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2005 Inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms (IAAA) are a variant of aortic aneurysm characterised by extensive peri-aneurysmal fibrosis, thickened walls and dense adhesions and represent between 3 and 10% of all abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Surgery is technically challenging and is still associated with an increased morbidity and mortality ...

Implicit Neural Representations for Modeling of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Progression [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are progressive dilatations of the abdominal aorta that, if left untreated, can rupture with lethal consequences. Imaging-based patient monitoring is required to select patients eligible for surgical repair. In this work, we present a model based on implicit neural representations (INRs) to model AAA progression.

Outcome of the Swedish Nationwide Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening Program
Circulation, 2016 Background: A general abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening program, targeting 65-year-old men, has gradually been introduced in Sweden since 2006 and reached nationwide coverage in 2015.
