A few studies used computed tomography (CT) scans for some AAA measurements. When available, additional information regarding AAA rupture (including death due to...
In AAA patients, data revealed different degrees of calcification, inversely correlated with wall stretching and also with inflammation and extracellular matrix degradation. In order to study the role of mechanical stimulation, endothelial cell line (EA.hy926) has been cultured in healthy (10% strain...
