A comparison of modelling techniques for computing wall stress in abdominal aortic aneurysms

Description : BACKGROUND: Aneurysms, in particular abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), form a significant portion of cardiovascular related deaths. There is much debate as to the most suitable tool for rupture prediction and interventional surgery of AAAs, and currently maximum diameter is used clinically as the de...

Fluid-structure interaction of a patient-specific abdominal aortic aneurysm treated with an endovascular stent-graft

Description :

Abstract

Background

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are local dilatations of the infrarenal aorta. If left untreated they may rupture and lead to death. One form of treatment is the minimally invasive insertion of a stent-graft into the aneurysm. Despite this effective treatment an...

Acoustic radiation force impulse imaging for aneurysms

Description : A method for reliable, noninvasive estimation of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) wall mechanics may be a useful clinical tool for rupture prediction. An in vitro AAA model was developed from an excised porcine aorta, with elastase treatment. The AAA model behaviour was analysed using Acoustic Radia...

A finite element analysis rupture index (FEARI) as an additional tool for abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture prediction

Description : Currently, abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), which are a permanent dilation of the aorta, are treated surgically when the maximum transverse diameter surpasses 5.5cm. AAA rupture occurs when the locally acting wall stress exceeds the locally acting wall strength. There is a need to review the curre...

The analysis of lactate-pyruvate levels and growth proliferation rates of endothelial cells on urinary bladder matrix: a potential vascular graft

Description : Arterial diseases are a common cause of death in the western world. The development of arterial substitute materials for the improved treatment of cardiovascular diseases is vital. One such material is urinary bladder matrix (UBM) an extracellular matrix material derived from porcine urinary bladder...

Augmentation cystoplasty and extracellular matrix scaffolds: an ex vivo comparative study with autogenous detubularised Ileum

Description : Background: Augmentation cystoplasty (AC) with autogenous ileum remains the current gold standard surgical treatment for many patients with end-stage bladder disease. However, the presence of mucus-secreting epithelium within the bladder is associated with debilitating long-term complications. Curre...
