Abstract

Using maximum diameter of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) alone for management can lead to delayed interventions or unnecessary urgent repairs. Abdominal aortic aneurysm stiffness plays an important role in its expansion and rupture. In vivo aortic magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) was developed to spatially measure AAA stiffness in previous pilot studies and has not been thoroughly validated and evaluated for its potential clinical value. This study aims to evaluate noninvasive in vivo aortic MRE-derived stiffness in an AAA porcine model and investigate the relationships between MRE-derived AAA stiffness and (1) histopathology, (2) uniaxial tensile test, and (3) burst testing for assessing MRE's potential in evaluating AAA rupture risk. Abdominal aortic aneurysm was induced in 31 Yorkshire pigs (n = 226 stiffness measurements). Animals were randomly divided into 3 cohorts: 2-week, 4-week, and 4-week-burst. Aortic MRE was sequentially performed. Histopathologic analyses were performed to quantify elastin, collagen, and mineral densities. Uniaxial tensile test and burst testing were conducted to measure peak stress and burst pressure for assessing the ultimate wall strength. Magnetic resonance elastography-derived AAA sti...Continue Reading

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
