lüll Biomechanics of abdominal aortic aneurysm Vorp DAJ Biomech 2007[]; 40 (9): 1887-902Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a condition whereby the terminal aorta permanently dilates to dangerous proportions, risking rupture. The biomechanics of AAA has been studied with great interest since aneurysm rupture is a mechanical failure of the degenerated aortic wall and is a significant cause of death in developed countries. In this review article, the importance of considering the biomechanics of AAA is discussed, and then the history and the state-of-the-art of this field is reviewed--including investigations into the biomechanical behavior of AAA tissues, modeling AAA wall stress and factors which influence it, and the potential clinical utility of these estimates in predicting AAA rupture.|*Biomechanical Phenomena[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal/diagnosis/*physiopathology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Models, Statistical[MESH] |
