Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) is a minimally invasive procedure crucial for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), where precise pre-operative planning is essential. Current clinical methods rely on manual measurements, which are time-consu...
OBJECTIVE: Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) surveillance relies on serial measurements of the maximal diameter despite significant inter- and intraobserver variability. Volumetric measurements are more sensitive; however, their general use has been ...
BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are often identified incidentally on imaging studies. Patients and/or providers are frequently unaware of these AAA and the need for long-term follow-up. We sought to evaluate the outcome of a nurse-naviga...
Prediction of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) growth is of essential importance for the early treatment and surgical intervention of AAA. Capturing key features of vascular growth, such as blood flow and intraluminal thrombus (ILT) accumulation play ...
OBJECTIVE: In the management of the aortic aneurysm, 4D flow magnetic resonance Imaging provides valuable information for the computation of new biomarkers using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). However, accurate segmentation of the aorta is requi...
BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture prediction based on sex and diameter could be improved. The goal was to assess whether aortic calcification distribution could better predict AAA rupture through machine learning and LASSO regressio...

OBJECTIVE: Challenging infrarenal aortic neck characteristics have been associated with an increased risk of type Ia endoleak after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Short apposition (< 10 mm circumferential shortest apposition length [SAL]) on th...
Deep learning-based automated segmentation of vascular structures in preoperative CT angiography (CTA) images contributes to computer-assisted diagnosis and interventions. While CTA is the common standard, non-contrast CT imaging has the advantage of...

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are rupture-prone dilatations of the aorta. In current clinical practice, the maximal diameter of AAAs is monitored with 2-D ultrasound to estimate their rupture risk. Recent studies have shown that 3-D and mechanica...
