Systematic review and meta-analysis of the growth and rupture rates of small abdominal aortic aneurysms: implications for surveillance intervals and their cost-effectiveness. [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: Small abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs; 3.0-5.4 cm in diameter) are usually asymptomatic and managed by regular ultrasound surveillance until they grow to a diameter threshold (commonly 5.5 cm) at which surgical intervention is considered ...

Experimental Investigation of Aortic Pressure Variations Following a Simulated Thoracic Impact [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Blunt traumatic aortic rupture is a heart injury that can occur in falls, automobile accidents, and sporting injuries involving impact to the thorax. Despite its severity and high morbidity rate, the research still does not provide a consistent description of the mechanism of rupture. In this study, a crash testing dummy with an in vitro pumping heart,

The physical origin of aneurysm growth, dissection, and rupture [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Rupture of aortic aneurysms is by far the most fatal heart disease, with a mortality rate exceeding 80%. There are no reliable clinical protocols to predict growth, dissection, and rupture because the fundamental physics driving aneurysm progression is unknown.

Wall Stress Distributions in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms Do Not Correlate With Symptoms [PDF]
Is there a relationship between stress in walls of abdominal
aortic aneurysm and symptoms? Journal of Surgical Research 2020, 252, 37-46, 2019 Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a permanent and irreversible dilation of the lower region of the aorta. It is typically an asymptomatic condition that if left untreated can expand to the point of rupture. Mechanically-speaking, rupture of an artery occurs when the local wall stress exceeds the local wall strength. It is therefore understandable that
