Abstract Knowledge of the biomechanical behavior of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) as
compared to nonaneurysmal aorta may provide information on the natural history of this …

Purpose: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture is believed to occur when the
mechanical stress acting on the wall exceeds the strength of the wall tissue. Therefore …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate gender differences in the
management of and outcome of surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Methods …

To determine the mode of inheritance of abdominal aortic aneurysm, data on first-degree
relatives of 91 probands were collected. Results of segregation analysis performed on these …

Aneurysm rupture occurs when local wall stresses exceed the tensile strength of vascular
tissues. Knowledge of vascular wall stresses, and insight into the factors that change wall …

Purpose: This study describes the design of an ongoing randomized trial intended to
determine which of two strategies is superior for managing small abdominal aortic …

Purpose: Whether small abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs)(≤ 5 cm in diameter) should be
repaired early to enhance late survival remains controversial. Long-term population-based …

Purpose: The treatment of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is typically
based on the potential for rupture. Current rupture assessments are in turn based on …

The incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysm has recently increased. There is still no
accurate definition of abdominal aortic aneurysm. The diameter of abdominal aortic …

There have been several published definitions for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA),
however, it is not known how different definitions affect what is reported. This paper presents …
