Geometric predictors of abdominal aortic aneurysm maximum wall stress. In Chemical Engineering Transactions. (Vol. 49, pp. 73-78). (Chemical Engineering Transactions; Vol. 49). Italian Association of Chemical Engineering - AIDIC. DOI: 10.3303/CET1649013http://nur.nu.edu.kz/handle/123456789/2181Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a dilation of the abdominal aorta (above 50 % of its original diameter), which can cause death upon rupturing. It usually grows asymptomatically leading to late clinical intervention. The medical criteria to indicate surgery are based on measuring the diameter and growth rate, but in many cases aneurysms fail at uncharacterized critical values. In search of a more efficient technique in predicting AAA failure, there is consensus on the importance of studying its geometric characteristics and estimation of the wall stress, but no fully successful correlation has been found between the two yet. This work examines the relationship between a parameterized geometry (18 input variables and 10 dependent indices) and 1 output variable: the maximum wall stress.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United StatesBlood vesselsDesign of experimentsFinite element methodLinear regressionRegression analysisAbdominal aortic aneurysmsResearch Subject Categories::TECHNOLOGY::Electrical engineering, electronics and photonicsArticle
