Geometric and biomechanical modeling aided by machine learning improves the prediction of growth and rupture of small abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Scientific reports
It remains difficult to predict when which patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) will require surgery. The aim was to study the accuracy of geometric and biomechanical analysis of small AAAs to predict reaching the threshold for surgery, diam...

A Self-Representation-Based Fuzzy SVM Model for Predicting Vascular Calcification of Hemodialysis Patients.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
In end-stage renal disease (ESRD), vascular calcification risk factors are essential for the survival of hemodialysis patients. To effectively assess the level of vascular calcification, the machine learning algorithm can be used to predict the vascu...

Atherosclerotic Plaque Burden on Abdominal CT: Automated Assessment With Deep Learning on Noncontrast and Contrast-enhanced Scans.

Academic radiology
BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic atherosclerotic plaque burden may have clinical significance but manual measurement is time-consuming and impractical.

3D Automatic Segmentation of Aortic Computed Tomography Angiography Combining Multi-View 2D Convolutional Neural Networks.

Cardiovascular engineering and technology
PURPOSE: The quantitative analysis of contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) is essential to assess aortic anatomy, identify pathologies, and perform preoperative planning in vascular surgery. To overcome the limitations given by man...

Automatic Segmentation, Detection, and Diagnosis of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Using Convolutional Neural Networks and Hough Circles Algorithm.

Cardiovascular engineering and technology
PURPOSE: An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is known as a cardiovascular disease involving localized deformation (swelling or enlargement) of aorta occurring between the renal and iliac arteries. AAA would jeopardize patients' lives due to its ruptur...

Aortic remodeling after hybrid provisional extension to induce complete attachment aortic repair of chronic residual type I aortic dissection.

The Journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery
OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to examine the role of the provisional extension to induce complete attachment (PETTICOAT) aortic dissection repair technique with bare metal stents (BMSs) in abdominal remodeling of residual DeBakey type I aortic dissec...

Exploring the influencing factors of abdominal aortic calcification events in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and non-CKD patients based on interpretable machine learning methods.

International urology and nephrology
BACKGROUND: Calcification is prevalent in CKD patients, with abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) being a strong predictor of coronary calcification. We aimed to identify key calcification factors in CKD and non-CKD populations using machine learning...

Automatic CTA analysis for blood vessels and aneurysm features extraction in EVAR planning.

Scientific reports
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...
