Mechanisms of oxidative stress in human aortic aneurysms — association with clinical risk factors for atherosclerosis and disease severity [PDF]
, 2013 Aortic abdominal aneurysms (AAA) are important causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Oxidative stress may link multiple mechanisms of AAA including vascular inflammation and increased metalloproteinase activity.

Journal of British Surgery, 1988 Abstract Between 1981 and 1986, 282 cases of abdominal aortic aneurysm were diagnosed in Waltham Forest. Rupture had occurred in 183, 15 underwent urgent operation for intact aneurysm, and 84 had elective surgery. The incidence of rupture increased from 13 to 21 per 100000 population during the 6-year period.

Comparison of existing aneurysm models and their path forward [PDF]
, 2020 The two most important aneurysm types are cerebral aneurysms (CA) and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), accounting together for over 80\% of all fatal aneurysm incidences. To minimise aneurysm related deaths, clinicians require various tools to accurately estimate its rupture risk. For both aneurysm types, the current state-of-the-art tools to evaluate

Abdominal aortic aneurysm: pictorial review of common appearances and complications.
Annals of Translational Medicine, 2017 Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are defined as focal dilatations of the abdominal aorta that are 50% greater than the proximal normal segment or when it is more than 3 cm in maximum diameter.

Micromanaging Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2013 The contribution of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) disease to human morbidity and mortality has increased in the aging, industrialized world. In response, extraordinary efforts have been launched to determine the molecular and pathophysiological characteristics of the diseased aorta.

A numerical study on the influence of geometry on the rupture risk of abdominal aortic aneurysms [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are local dilatations in the abdominal aorta occurring due to weakening of arterial wall. The present work investigates the influence of the ratio of maximum transverse diameter to abdominal height (DHr) on rupture risk of AAA, using hemodynamics and AAA wall mechanics simulations.

Endovascular treatment of huge saccular abdominal aortic aneurysm in a young Behcet patient: mid-term result [PDF]
, 2002 BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic aneurysm formation is among the arterial complications of Behcet's disease. Weakness and fragility of aortic walls leads to the development of arterial complications like pseudoaneurysms.

Journal of Immunology, 2016 Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a dynamic vascular disease characterized by inflammatory cell invasion and extracellular matrix degradation. Damage to elastin in the extracellular matrix results in release of elastin-derived peptides (EDPs), which are ...

Mechanosignals in abdominal aortic aneurysms
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 Cumulative evidence has shown that mechanical and frictional forces exert distinct effects in the multi-cellular aortic layers and play a significant role in the development of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). These mechanical cues collectively trigger signaling cascades relying on mechanosensory cellular hubs that regulate vascular remodeling ...

Generation of Patient-specific Structured Hexahedral Mesh of Aortic Aneurysm Wall [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is an enlargement in the lower part of the main artery Aorta by 1.5 times its normal diameter. AAA can cause death if rupture occurs. Elective surgeries are recommended to prevent rupture based on geometrical measurements of AAA diameter and diameter growth rate.
