Introduction R abdominal aortic aneurysm is a common preventable cause of death, responsible for approximately 5800 deaths in men and 3500 deaths in women in England and Wales in 1999, equivalent to 2.2% of all deaths in men aged 60 years and over and 1.2% of deaths in women over the age of 65 years.1 The prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm is increasing and has a male-to-female ratio of 6 ...

To investigate to the understanding of the hemodynamic characteristics in abdominal aortic aneurysm, computational fluid dynamic simulation of physiological flows through aneurysm model was performed. The results suggest that pressure and WSS distributions on the surface of aneurysm were unevenly distributed during the diastolic phase. It was also found that the secondary flow is formed with de...

BACKGROUND Abdominal aortic aneurysms requiring surgical intervention are generally treated by endovascular means. Such procedures are not always offered in rural hospitals, possibly leaving patients underserved. We reviewed our experience initiating an endoaortic surgery program. METHODS A surgeon in a rural centre was credentialed to perform endovascular aortic aneurysm repair through colla...

Introduction: Postoperative neurological deficit is the most devastating complication after thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Despite demonstrated neuroprotective effects of estradiol, its protective efficacy against spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion and underlying mechanisms are not yet elucidated. Methods: Two groups, each of 10 New Zealand white male rabbits, were studied. Control g...
