  1. 1. Computational model of abdominal aortic aneurysm inception and evolution

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

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Abdominal Aortic Wall Mechanics - Stress, Strain and Stiffness in A Medical Perspective : An Experimental Study in Man

    Författare :Jerker Karlsson; Jan Engvall; Toste Länne; Jonas Stålhand; Carl-Johan Carlhäll; Magnus Cinthio; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Background:  The stiffness of the abdominal aorta is considered a significant factor affecting the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease. Estimating vascular stiffness is an integral part in cardiovascular risk assessment. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Vessel wall integrity : influence of genetics and flow

    Författare :Hanna Björck; Toste Länne; Per Eriksson; Sverker Jern; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Goal Function Approach to Growth and Remodeling of Arteries

    Författare :Ganarupan Satha; Anders Klarbring; Stefan B. Lindström; Jonas Stålhand; Håkan Johansson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis we develop a new goal function approach to investigate stability of the growth processes in blood vessels and cost-optimal composition and geometry of these vessels. In the vascular system of a healthy individual, the living composition of the arterial wall must regenerate and remodel continuously during the entire lifetime to maintain itself. LÄS MER
