2. 1. Regulation of aortic wall mechanics and stress : An experimental study in man

   Author : Håkan Åstrand; Toste Länne; Matts Karlsson; Martin Björck; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aorta; wall stress; remodeling; IMT; gender; diabetes mellitus; aging; collagen; elastin; Vascular surgery; Kärlkirurgi;

   Abstract : The abdominal aorta (AA) in man is a vulnerable artery prone to atherosclerosis as well as aneurysmatic dilation. The underlying aortic composition, mechanical properties as well as the mechanisms responsible for age-related changes and vascular disease are however largely unknown. READ MORE

4. 2. Aspects on Imaging and Endovascular Treatment of Aortic Dissection and Aneurysm

   Author : Mats-Ola Eriksson; Rickard Nyman; Anders Wanhainen; Johnny Steuer; Mårten Falkenberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Aneurysms; aorta; stents; ultrasound; colour Doppler; vascular; interventional; aortic dissection; complicated; TEVAR; EVAR; re-intervention; survival; thrombosis; false lumen; aortic remodelling; Radiology; Radiologi;

   Abstract : Aortic aneurysm and dissections are potentially life threatening conditions. The advent of endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) and thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has reduced perioperative mortality and morbidity and are now established therapy methods for treatment of aortic disease.

5. 3. Computational model of abdominal aortic aneurysm inception and evolution

   Author : Andrii Grytsan; T. Christian Gasser; Nicholas Hill; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aneurysm; three dimensional; elastin degradation; growth; remodeling; fluid-solid-growth model; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

   Abstract : Incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is increasing in the aging society of the western world. Development of AAA is mostly asymptomatic and is characterized by a bulge in the abdominal aorta. However, AAA may suddenly rupture, which results in an internal bleeding associated with a high mortality rate. READ MORE

6. 4. Abdominal aortic aneurysm inception and evolution - A computational model

   Author : Andrii Grytsan; T. Christian Gasser; Martin Kroon; Frans N. van de Vosse; KTH; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Aorta; Aneurysm; AAA; Blood Flow; Wall Shear Stress; Growth and Remodeling; Mixture Model; Growth Kinematics; Fluid-Solid-Growth; Aorta; Aneurysm; AAA; Blodflöde; Vägg Skjuvspänning; Tillväxt och Strukturförändring; Blandning Modell; Tillväxt Kinematik; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is characterized by a bulge in the abdominal aorta. AAA development is mostly asymptomatic, but such a bulge may suddenly rupture, which is associated with a high mortality rate. Unfortunately, there is no medication that can prevent AAA from expanding or rupturing. READ MORE

7. 5. Vessel wall integrity : influence of genetics and flow

   Author : Hanna Björck; Toste Länne; Per Eriksson; Sverker Jern; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of death worldwide. Underlying causes, such as atherosclerosis and hypertension, are associated with remodeling of the vessel wall ultimately leading to loss of structural integrity. There are a number of factors that can influence vascular remodeling and hence structural integrity. READ MORE
