Abstract:
Clinical decision-making for surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms based on maximum aortic diameter presents limitations as rupture can occur below threshold for some aneurysms, whereas others are stable at large sizes. The proposed approach combines hemodynamics and geometric indices with in vivo deformation analysis to assess local weakening of the aortic wall for a case of impending rupture that was confirmed during open surgical repair. A new combined index, the Regional Rupture Potential, is introduced to help the assessment of individual aneurysms and their rupture risk, providing a rationale for clinical decisions.
