Experimental Investigation of Aortic Pressure Variations Following a Simulated Thoracic Impact [PDF]
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]
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]
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

Endovascular repair for acute traumatic transection of the descending thoracic aorta: experience of a single centre with a 12-years follow up [PDF]
Background: Most blunt aortic injuries occur in the proximal proximal descending aorta causing acute transection of this vessel. Generally, surgical repair of the ruptured segment of aorta is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality and in

Emerging pharmacological treatments to prevent abdominal aortic aneurysm growth and rupture [PDF]
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a local expansion of the abdominal aorta wall caused by a complex multifactorial maladaptive vascular remodeling. Despite recent advances in the management of cardiovascular diseases, there currently is no established ...
