【 摘 要 】

Introduction: Current recommendations for surgical treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) rely on the assessment of aortic diameter as a marker for risk of rupture. The use of aortic size alone may overlook the role that vessel heterogeneity plays in aneurysmal progression and rupture risk. The aim of the current study was to investigate intra-patient heterogeneity of mechanical and fluid mechanical stresses on the aortic wall and wall tissue histopathology from tissue collected at the time of surgical repair.
