Steady flow in models of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Part II: Wall stresses and their implication for in vivo thrombosis and rupture.
TL;DR: In a continuing investigation into the mechanical factors that lead to rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysms, wall pressure and shear stress measurements are presented for steady flow through the series aneurYSm models, suggesting that the presence of turbulent flow may significantly affect risk of rupture.

Steady flow in models of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Part I: Investigation of the velocity patterns.
TL;DR: Turbulence was amplified in the distal half of the model dilation, with the largest models producing velocity fluctuations as great as 35% of the time‐average centerline velocities, suggesting that larger aneurysms in vivo may be subject to more frequent and intense turbulence than smaller aneurYSms.

Inter-observer variability in ultrasonic evaluation of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
TL;DR: Assessment of the consistency in 16 independent observations of the diameters of abdominal aortic aneurysms by diagnostic ultrasound found that clinical treatment decisions should be made with appreciation that measurements of diameter increases greater than 0.21 cm in the anterior-posterior dimension and 0.31cm in the transverse dimension are significant.

TL;DR: As an investigation into the mechanical factors which contribute to aneurysm growth and rupture, flow field measurements for steady flow are presented for a range of Reynolds numbers, which will have significant implications for clinical decisions concerning the treatment of aorticAneurysms.
